Features

This classic reel contains100 m of polyester yarn. The appellationExtra Strengthrefers to a thread that is coarser and more resistant to tension than a standard thread: it takes the seams under tension, where a fine thread eventually gives way. TheDark khaki colour, between olive green and brown, goes well with both earth and black tones.

Directions for use

• Cast a 90 to 110 jeans needle on the thicknesses: an eye that is too thin shears the thread and causes stitch jumps.
• Lengthen the stitch to 3 or 3.5 mm for topstitching: a stitch that is too tight perforates the fabric like a dotted line.
• Reinforce the pocket corners with a small triangle of close stitches.
• Test the tension on a scrap folded into the same thicknesses before starting the sewing.

For a parka, add a separable zipper and snaps to sew. Jeans needles will complete the set.
