Directions for use

• For a hem with invisible stitches, stitch only one thread of the fabric at each stitch: the nude pink disappears into the weft.
• Unroll a sprig on your fabric in daylight before sewing, as pale shades change their appearance under artificial lighting.
• For regular gathers, draw two rows of large stitches, pull together the two bottom threads, then secure with a stitch between the rows.
• Test on a fall to adjust the tension: a clear wire quickly shows a loop on the right side.

Think of fine machine needles and glass-headed pins so as not to mark light fabrics. Clear tailor chalk and sharp scissors complete the selection.
