FinesseNe 50This is followed by the English numbering of cotton: the larger the number, the finer the thread. The 50 is a common gauge of sewing thread, which is suitable for many plain cottons.

How to use it

• To thread this dark thread more easily, hold the needle in front of a white sheet of paper: the eye sticks out neatly.
• On a dark fabric, the stitches are difficult to spot: light the work from the side to keep regular seams.
• For a cotton canvas apron or jacket, sew the pockets 2 or 3 mm from the edge for a clean finish.
• Cut the ends of thread flush with the fabric with small scissors: a dark thread leaves more visible marks on a light fabric.

It goes well with black, burgundy or navy blue cottons. Brass or horn buttons give a neat style.
