Features

Spool100 m polyester, referenceM 782. The appellationExtra Strengthrefers to a thread that is thicker than a universal thread, which draws a regular and marked topstitched line. TheGingerbread colouris a deep and warm ochre: it contrasts with blues and blacks, and blends with camels and browns.

Our advice

• First try a line on a scrap: ochre stands out more on blue denim than on brown, and the effect is better judged before stitching the work.
• To apply a patch or reinforcement piece, build and then sew in a narrow, tight zigzag: the outline looks like a scallop.
• Keep a stitch length of 3 mm for decorative topstitching: the shorter the seam, the seam tightens and puckers the fabric.

Pair it with iron-on patches and denim to customize a jacket. Metal shank buttons complete the effect.
