Technical characteristics

This reel contains100 m of polyester yarn(110 yards), referenceM 782. "Extra-strong" refers to a thread with a larger cross-section, suitable for seams that are subject to tension: denim, bag canvas, imitation. Thicker, it requires a needle with a wider eye and a slightly longer stitch to form properly.

Directions for use

• Cast on a 100 to 110 gauge needle: an eye that is too narrow frays the thread and causes stitch jumps.
• Lengthen the stitch to 3 or 3.5 mm for clean stitching on thick canvas.
• For a coat button, slip a match between the button and the fabric, then wrap the thread under the head to form a button foot.

Special jeans needles and clip clips to hold the thicknesses make the work easier. Shank buttons in nude or sand tones complement the Sepia well.
