DMC TOUS TEXTILES 1BOB 120M

Assembling fine or thick fabrics, delicate or robust, requires a reliable thread that does not break and which passes through the layers without linting. The DMC Tous Textiles 1022B sewing thread meets this daily need of the seamstress: a high tenacity polyester designed for the machine as well as for the hand, capable of withstanding repeated washing without losing its shine.

This thread is distinguished by its 100% polyester composition, its length of 120 meters and above all its French manufacturing , an asset for those who choose quality supplies. The compact spool makes it easy to store and quickly access your thread without taking up space in the sewing box. Color Rivages 4090 offers a nuanced gray-blue shade, discreet enough to go unnoticed on most light and intermediate fabrics.

Whether you are assembling a linen blouse, closing the sides of jeans or topstitching on thick cotton, this thread will accompany you without failing. The tension remains regular from the start to the end of the spool, and the absence of internal knots prevents you from unexpected stops mid-sewing.

• Thread your needle with doubled thread to strengthen the assembly of the linings and increase resistance to tears.
• Set the straight stitch to a fine length (1.5 mm) for silk, and spread it apart (2.5 mm) for structured fabrics: polyester glides perfectly on all thicknesses.
• Clean your spool regularly with a dry cloth to prevent lint from accumulating and slowing down the thread in the presser foot.
• Test your tension on a scrap before starting your work: a tightly stretched thread produces a flat and invisible seam.
• Pair this gray-blue with beige or creamy white warp thread for a timeless finish on alteration projects.

Combine this thread with a quality seam ripper and a sturdy thimble for your alteration sessions. On a visible stitching project, combine it with a fine needle (60/8) and let the thread breathe: the less tension there is, the more transparent it appears under the stitches.
