Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 758

Ideal for giving relief to a work without cutting sharply, Gütermann thread n° 758 has a deep, warm and slightly buttery wheat yellow. It is chosen to highlight a seam, not to hide it.

Technical details

Each coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton, a material treated for a silkier appearance and a well-fixed shade. TheNe 50can be read as an index of fineness: the more it increases, the finer the thread, and this level allows you to stitch cleanly without thickening the seams. Cotton lends itself to both assembly and decorative topstitching. It is sold by the piece.

Use cases

• Stitch the edges of a patch pocket on a blue, green or brown fabric: wheat yellow creates a nice contrast line.
• For straight topstitching, guide the fabric with the edge of the presser foot rather than by eye.
• Use it as a hand-stitch for a decorative scalloped stitch on a linen doily or cloth.
• Keep a needle length of about 50 cm: the longer the cotton frays as it passes through the fabric.

Pair it with grey linen or denim, with a plain cotton canvas and gold metal buttons to accentuate the effect.
