Sewing with the metallic thread made in France

At first glance, it may seem difficult to sew but with the right material and a gentle touch, everything will go well. We recommend choosing the right needle, that is to say a "metallic needle" especially from Schmetz. Their larger eye prevents the thread from breaking by rubbing too much against the needle. It will also be necessary to pay attention to the bobbin thread, which we recommend to be ultra-fine polyester or silk. The tension should be reduced, and take your time. This will prevent the thread from breaking and the stitches will thus be regular.
