How to use it

• Lay the thread on the fabric in daylight before choosing: a cream will appear more yellow or greyer depending on the lighting.
• On lace, sew at moderate speed so that the thread does not pull on the stitches.
• For an almost invisible hand hem, take only one or two threads of the fabric at each stitch.
• Keep the same color for the entire piece, including the bobbin, for seamless stitching.

It goes well with cotton lace and an ivory satin ribbon. A few pearly buttons finish the creation.
