Use cases

• When sewing an off-white fabric, this pale pink looks almost neutral and hides stitch irregularities better than a pure white thread.
• On a cotton voile, stitch with a short stitch length to prevent the fabric from hive.
• For a nightgown collar or cuffs, make a fine topstitching 2 mm from the edge.
• Before choosing the shade, lay the coil on your fabric in natural light: pale pinks change a lot depending on the lighting.

Combine this pink with an ecru, beige or powder pink fabric. Mother-of-pearl buttons or white cotton bias complete the finishes well.
