DMC TOUS TEXTILES 1BOB 500M

To confidently assemble all your fabrics, from fine cotton to thick canvases, this DMC Tous Textiles 1004 sewing thread in Brown 4642 offers remarkable tenacity and regularity. Made in France, it guarantees consistent quality at every point, whether you work by machine or by hand.

This 100% polyester thread of 500 meters is suitable for all sewing contexts: clothing, accessories, alterations or custom creations. The generous spool allows you to complete multiple projects without interruption. Shade Brun 4642 is neutral enough to blend in with both light and darker fabrics, while maintaining a discreet presence.

• Thread the thread into a needle number 70 to 90 depending on the thickness of the fabric to avoid fiber tears.
• Set the machine tension to 4 or 5: too tight, it wears out the thread prematurely; too loose, the stitches lack regularity.
• For delicate seams on silk or fine linen, reduce the stitch length to 2 mm and slightly reduce the feed speed.
• Finish each row with three successive back stitches rather than just one: polyester thread slips less than cotton.
• Store the reel away from direct light to preserve the shine of the brown color over the months.

Combine this timeless brown with threads from the same range in off-white or anthracite gray for contrasting topstitching, or with hand sewing needles number 8 to 10 for discreet touch-ups. A classic sewing box that seamstresses recognize and appreciate.
