Directions for use

• Pass the thread over a wax block before sewing by hand: it glides better and no longer twists.
• For decorative topstitching, lengthen the stitch to about 3 mm so that the color stands out clearly.
• Always check the colour on a scrap of fabric, in daylight.
• Cut lengths of no more than one arm to avoid knots during the work.

Pair it with a plain cotton fabric and tailor chalk to trace your topstitching lines. A few hand sewing needles complete the set.
