Directions for use

• Try on a scrap folded in half: on a light fabric, the pink looks brighter than on the coil.
• For contrasting topstitching on unbleached cotton, lengthen the stitch length a little: the colored line will be more legible.
• Use it in a frame to mark marks on a dark fabric, they will be visible at a glance.
• Always make a drop test buttonhole before you start on the garment.

Pair this pink with a grey or white cotton poplin for a sharp contrast. Hand sewing needles will be used for visible finishes.
