Our advice

• On a dark fabric, the white thread can be spotted immediately. Use it to build or mark marks, then remove it once the seam is secured.
• On an ecru or ivory, compare the shades to daylight: a pure white can stand out on a cream base.
• Wind bobbins ahead of time so you don't get interrupted in the middle of a curtain hem.
• Keep a white spool for canvas fittings: the thread is easy to see and undone.

For a cream base, choose porcelain n° 802 instead. White cotton or a coordinated bias will complete the work.
