Composition and dimensions

M 782 coil from100 minpolyester, coloursEcru n° 414. The term "extra-strong" refers to a thread designed for the seams that is more robust than the universal thread. Its neutral shade matches natural linen, raw cotton, sack fabrics and shades of sand or cream.

Our advice

• For folded-down seams on linen, double the stitching row to a few millimeters: the ecru thread remains discreet and the seam very solid.
• On a canvas bag with loose seams, iron over the original stitching holes to limit new piercings.
• Compare yarn to fabric in daylight: ecru tends towards cream and will not suit an optical white.
• On a thick canvas curtain hem, keep a medium stitch of 3 mm for a flat, frown-free result.

For your bags, match it with a thick linen canvas and cotton strap. A needle for thick fabrics will facilitate the passage of layers.
