Composition and dimensions

M 782 coil from100 minpolyester, coloursEggplant No. 512. The word "extra-strong" refers to a thread that is more resistant to traction than universal thread, suitable for seams subject to stress: trousers, bags, thick curtains. Its shade, between plum and black, matches burgundy, anthracite grey, midnight blue and pine green.

How to use it

• On velvet, stitch with clothespins rather than pins, which leave indelible marks.
• Make a hand frame with a fine thread before assembling a slippery fabric, then remove it once the stitching is complete.
• For thick curtains or covers, keep a 3 mm stitch: shorter, it may perforate the fabric.
• Sew the seams of a dark lining with this thread so that they remain invisible inside a coat.

For a jacket or cushion, pair it with velvet or woollen fabric in plum or burgundy tones. Needles suitable for thick fabrics will make the work easier.
