Directions for use

• Bring the spool close to the fabric in daylight before validating the pairing: the olive yellows change a lot depending on the lighting.
• Use it as a topstitch on ochre, mustard or moss green linen or cotton to achieve a tonal effect.
• Test the stitch on a lined scrap of fabric, as in your book, before adjusting the final tension.
• For a frame that must disappear, avoid stitching too tightly: stitches that are too tight leave marks on the fabric once the thread is removed.

Pair this No. 638 cotton with washed linen and wooden or corozo buttons for a room with natural tones.
