Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 7839

For appliqués, patchwork or a summer dress that needs to stand out from the crowd, this Gütermann yarn no. 7839 offers a bright, bold and bright meadow green.

Technical characteristics

Each coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton. Mercerization is a treatment of the fiber that makes it smoother, shinier and better dyed: this is what gives it this bright green. WithNe 50, the fineness of the cotton is indicated in English numbering; the higher the number, the finer the thread. The 50 is a common gauge for light to medium weight cottons.

Our advice

• For a scalloped stitch appliqué, stitch tight stitches every 2 mm or so: the green then draws a sharp outline.
• In a patchwork, slip this green as a unique touch on a neutral background: it is more noticeable than if it is repeated everywhere.
• To embroider a small plant motif, first trace it with an erasable pencil, then follow the line in stem stitch.
• For a lively thread, avoid pulling too hard at the end of the stitch: the color stretches and the seam can gather.

This green goes well with white, yellow or candy pink cottons. Fine hand sewing needles and patchwork pins go well with it.
