How to use it

• On stressed seams, such as the crotch or armhole, double the stitching with a second line 2 mm from the first.
• To pivot in a corner, leave the needle stuck in the fabric, raise the presser foot, turn the work, then resume sewing.
• On a wool, stitch the pockets with this grey rather than black for a less clear-cut look.
• If the fabric is thin, decrease the stitch length to prevent it from gathering.

For neat finishes, add fusible interfacing and dark grey buttons.
