Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 7303

Are you looking for a yarn that can be forgotten on off-white, light grey or powder blue? No. 7303 of this Gütermann cotton range is a very pale, almost frosted lavender blue that remains discreet on delicate fabrics.

Technical characteristics

The coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton, a fibre treated to gain brilliance and colour fastness. Its titrationNe 50designates an average fineness according to the English numbering of cotton: the higher the number, the more refined the thread becomes. It is therefore suitable for light fabrics, on which a seam that is too thick would be visible. ColorsNo. 7303, sold by the piece.

How to use it

• On white, a very light blue thread is barely visible: test it on a scrap to check that it doesn't stick out too much.
• Make your gathers with two rows of long stitches, then pull the threads together for even pleats.
• For an almost invisible hand hem, take only one thread of fabric at each stitch.
• Cut the end of the wire at an angle, with a clean stroke, before threading it: it passes more easily through the barrel.

It goes well with white cotton batiste and unbleached cotton bias. Add thin glass-headed pins so as not to mark delicate fabrics.
