Gütermann Extra Strength Sewing Thread M 782 - 100 m - Silver Grey - No. 40

A true ally of structural seams, this extra-strong Gütermann M 782 yarn in silver grey n° 40 offers a medium and neutral grey. It goes just as well with light denim as with taupe fabrics or grey woollens.

Composition and dimensions

The coil contains100 m (110 yds)ofpolyester, referenceM 782, at theColour No. 40. An extra-strong thread is larger than a universal sewing thread, so it is stronger when the fabric pulls on the seam. It is used for assemblies that work: bag bottoms, cushion covers, outerwear. This intermediate grey is versatile: it darkens on a light background and lightens on a dark background, making it discreet on many shades.

Our advice

• To reinforce a bag bottom, stitch two parallel rows 3 to 4 mm apart rather than one.
• On a cushion cover, sew the corners with two diagonal stitches: the fabric does not curve.
• When you go through several thicknesses, slow down the machine to avoid breaking the needle.

Pair it with bias tape or cotton webbing to finish a bag. Add a zipper that is the same length as your opening.
