Technical characteristics

The coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton: This cotton has been treated to make it smoother and more lustrous for strong colours. TheNe 50is an English titling pattern, which becomes finer as the number increases. It is suitable for light to medium weight fabrics. Red is chosen as much for decorative stitching as for matching a work to a bright color.

Use cases

• On ecru linen or white cotton, a red thread in hand button stitch brings out each buttonhole.
• For an apron or tea towel, stitch two parallel lines spaced 5 mm apart: the graphic effect is immediate.
• On a red fabric, choose a thread in a darker tone: it disappears better in the seams.
• A dark thread shows the irregular stitches: practice on a scrap before the work.

Dress it up with an ecru or light grey fabric and neutral buttons. A matching red cotton bias trim elegantly finishes a pocket edge.
