Directions for use

• Take a slightly darker tone than your fabric: once stitched, the seam looks a little lighter than the spool.
• Compare the coil to a scrap of fabric in daylight, as browns change their appearance under artificial lighting.
• For a clean topstitching on a thick canvas, lengthen the stitch to about 3 mm.

Pair it with wooden buttons and ecru cotton bias for finishes in the same spirit. Sharp sewing scissors complete the set.
