Technical details

This cone contains2,500 m of polyester yarndesigned for the serger, a comfortable stash for several garments of the same shade. SoundTitration No. 120corresponds to a fine yarn: the overlock remains flat and does not create an extra thickness in the seam allowances. Polyester is a fiber appreciated for its resistance to friction, useful on highly stressed edges.

How to use it

• On a printed fabric, choose the darkest dominant shade of the pattern: brown will blend into the dark areas.
• Serger the linen or canvas edges before washing the fabric for the first time: they will fray much less during handling.
• Change the needle as soon as the stitches jump: with a thin thread, a blunt tip is the first cause of uneven overlocking.
• Serge the margins of a pair of trousers before stitching the seams: the piece is easier to iron and alter.

Consider pairing it with a close-tone polyester sewing thread for stitching, as well as sharp sewing scissors to trim the margins.
