DMC TOUS TEXTILES 1BOB 120M

Assembling a solid seam that lasts over time begins with the choice of thread. This DMC Tous Textiles 1022B sewing thread in Rose 4472 color offers the versatility that seamstresses are looking for: it adapts to all textiles, from fine cotton to thick fabrics, without fear of repeated washing.

Made in France, this 100% polyester thread benefits from French textile know-how. The 120 meter spool allows you to complete multiple projects without interruption — a generous length that limits reel changes in the workshop. Color Rose 4472 is a delicate, light pink, which is suitable for both visible linings and discreet assemblies on light or pastel fabrics.

This thread is suitable for both sewing machine and hand sewing. Its regular diameter slides smoothly through the cogs of most household machines.

• Thread your machine needle with a length of approximately 50 cm to prevent the polyester from linting at the entry and exit points.
• On delicate fabrics such as silk or muslin, slightly reduce the tension of your machine and favor a fine stitch: Rose 4472 should not mark the fabric.
• For hand assembly on linen or thick cotton, divide a needle from 60 to 80 cm: polyester has less flexibility than cotton and wears out more quickly with repeated use.
• This thread is wash-resistant at 40°C and can be ironed at moderate temperatures, ideal for linings and summer clothes.
• Pair it with machine needles No. 80 or 90 for fine fabrics, No. 100 or 110 for denser fabrics.

For your lining assemblies or your touch-ups on pastel cottons, combine this Rose 4472 with a matching DMC Mouliné embroidery thread if you want to add visible topstitching: the result will be harmonious and the thread holds up better to repeated washing than topstitching with sewing thread alone.
