Technical details

The wire is made ofMercerized cotton, and the coil contains100 m. Mercerization gives the fiber a smoother feel and a slight sheen. TheNe 50is an English count: the higher the number, the finer the thread. It is suitable for light to medium fabrics, such as dark cotton, linen or poplin. Its black with bluish reflections blends well with navy, anthracite and cotton blacks.

Directions for use

• Place a white sheet of paper under the presser foot: the contrast helps you track your stitches on a black fabric.
• Work in daylight: In low light, you can't see missed spots on a dark background.
• On a dark hem, a hand-slipped stitch remains invisible on the right side.
• Save this coil for internal assemblies: black blends with almost any dark hue.

Combine it with a black or navy cotton poplin and a black zipper. A dark cotton bias trim cleanly finishes a collar.
