How to use it

• On a velvet or a dark fabric, prefer a thread slightly darker than the fabric: the seams are less visible.
• For a neat buttonhole, double the needle thread on an identical bobbin thread rather than mixing two close shades.
• If you sew red on white or light, check the back of the work: small visible dots can betray the color.
• Keep a spare length of thread for rework, a dark red is uneasy to the naked eye.

Think of wooden or dark mother-of-pearl buttons and a coordinated bias for neat finishes.
