Technical characteristics

This classic Gütermann M 782 reel contains100 m(110 yds) ofpolyester yarnin the colourClover Green No. 402. The term "extra-strong" refers to a thread that is more robust than universal thread. It better supports the traction exerted on the stitching of bags, aprons, jeans or covers. Polyester offers good tensile strength, for seams that work without giving way.

Directions for use

• Such a saturated green looks darker once sewn: test the stitch on a scrap before starting the final seam.
• For clean topstitching on canvas or denim, lengthen the stitch to 3 or 3.5 mm and use a 90 to 100 gauge needle.
• On a tote bag, reinforce the handles with a stitching square crossed out with a cross: the coloured thread becomes a decorative detail.
• Embroider a monogram in a straight stitch very close together on an ecru canvas apron: the green stands out against the neutral background.

Pair it with machine needles for jeans and a thick cotton canvas for your bags and aprons. Cotton webbing and a metal buckle will complete the set.
