How to use it

• For an exposed seam on a pastel piece, try a medium-length straight stitch, which is more decorative than a very tight stitch.
• On a braid or bias, stitch flush with the edge so that the green line draws a thin border.
• Avoid sewing a dark fabric with this very light green: the contrast betrays each stitch.
• On a double gauze fabric, test the tension on a fall so as not to pucker.

Accompany it with a white satin ribbon or pearly buttons for a soft piece. A cotton fabric printed with small flowers also makes a beautiful setting for this green.
