How to use it

• Embroider a visible front stitch on linen or cotton: lined thread, 4 mm stitches, to highlight a pocket or an edge.
• Use it as a cue frame: this bright blue is immediately noticeable on a light fabric and can be removed in one stroke.
• For even visible stitches, first draw the line with chalk or erasable pencil and keep a constant gap.

A white cotton, a yellow poplin or an ecru linen will bring out this blue. A thimble will make working by hand more comfortable.
