Our advice

• To embroider an overlock stitch by hand on an edge, work with a single thread: a double thread would form a bead on a thin fabric.
• On a plain pastel fabric, choose a thread slightly lighter than it for an almost erased seam.
• For flat folds, build in long stitches before the final stitching and remove the frame once the seam is complete.
• Store the reel away from direct light: pale shades are better spotted with the naked eye than at the bottom of a dark drawer.

This sea green goes well with white cotton, ecru linen and light cotton braids. A small almond green satin ribbon for the finishes harmonizes well with this yarn.
