Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 429

Our advice

• Use it in a frame on light fabrics: the temporary stitches are easily removed and can be spotted effortlessly.
• On a linen hem, give it a try: ecru gives a softer look than pure white, which catches the eye.
• Wind a bobbin with the same thread as the one on top: an identical tension avoids small loops under the work.

Mark it with linen braid or cotton lace, mother-of-pearl buttons, and ivory cotton bias.
