Technical details

Gütermann M 782 coil100 minpolyester, coloursHickory No. 406. The term "extra-strong" indicates a thread that is more resistant than conventional sewing thread. It is suitable for seams subject to repeated tension: pockets, loops, trouser hems. Its deep colour matches dark fabrics and makes topstitching very discreet.

How to use it

• On corduroy, sew in the direction of the ribs to prevent them from shifting under the presser foot.
• To attach a coat button, double the thread and slip a match between the button and the fabric: you will obtain a flexible button foot.
• Instead, choose a shade that is slightly darker than the fabric: the seam shadows make the thread appear lighter.
• At seam junctions, where layers accumulate, switch to a larger needle to avoid skipping stitches.

Think of machine needles for jeans and corduroy or heather wool for your trousers and jackets. Coat shank buttons will finish the work nicely.
