This spool of Gütermann M 782 extra-strong yarn in pale pink no. 52 offers a slightly dull powder pink, close to old pink. It goes well with linen, velvet, grey cotton or tone-on-tone fabrics.

Technical details

The coil measures100 m (110 yds)inpolyester, referenceM 782, Colour No. 52. An extra-strong thread is larger and more resistant to traction than a universal thread: it is used when the seam is under tension, but at the same time wants a soft shade. Pale pink is suitable for cushions, bags or children's clothing with strong topstitching. Used tone-on-tone, it gives a discreet relief.

Use cases

• To sew appliqués on a piece of bag, stitch the outline with a narrow zigzag stitch: the edges remain tenuous.
• On velvet, sew in the direction of the pile to prevent the fabric from slipping.
• Test the shade on your fabric in daylight: a powder pink changes depending on the lighting.

Pair it with a grey or ecru cotton bias binding. Add pearlescent buttons for a soft finish.
