Gütermann Extra Strength Sewing Thread M 782 - 100 m - No. 428

This Gütermann Extra Strength Sewing Thread No. 428 offers a soft pinkish brown, a rare shade between dark old pink and milk chocolate. It is suitable for projects that go beyond classic browns.

Technical details

Reference M 782, reel of100 m(110 yds) inpolyester yarn, Colour No. 428. The term "extra-strong" indicates a thread that is more resistant than universal thread, which is designed for thick or taut seams, such as handles, loops or covers. Its powdery brown goes well with velvet, washed linen, old pink, taupe or plum woollens.

Our advice

• For a velvet cushion cover, stitch the wrong side with a 2.5 mm straight stitch and finish the edges with a zigzag.
• On a short pile, let the fabric move forward without holding it back: pulling makes the layers slide and shifts the seam.
• Sew canvas belt loops with a triple round trip: they can withstand daily pulls.
• Note the number 428 before cutting the reel, to take up a work later with the same color.

Pair it with a velvet or linen washed in powdery tones. Fabric-covered buttons will match this pinkish brown.
