DMC TOUS TEXTILES 1BOB 120M

Assemble various fabrics with confidence: DMC Tous Textiles red 4987 sewing thread adapts to every project, from light cotton to thick materials. 120 m spool in 100% polyester, this versatile thread can be worked by machine or by hand, offering regular tension and reliable strength over time.

Composition 100% high tenacity polyester , French manufacturing guaranteeing uncompromising value for money. The red color 4987 is a true bright red, slightly scarlet, which stands out clearly on light fabrics as well as on more intense shades. 120 m spool sufficient for many sewing projects or regular alterations. This yarn withstands classic wash cycles and resists repeated friction.

• Adjust the machine tension according to the weight of the fabric: finer for silks and muslins, higher for denim and thick canvases.
• Work with size 70 to 100 needles depending on your material: polyester requires a needle in good condition, sharp and well inserted.
• Prefer needles of 40 to 50 cm to avoid twisting the thread and maintain a regular seam.
• For visible alterations, pre-wash a scrap of the fabric with a wound needle: this prevents any discoloration during the first wash.
• Pair it with an identical bobbin spool to ensure balanced, long-lasting machine sewing.

For neat and durable finishes, complete your sewing box with matching needles and a needle threader: red 4987 combined with cream white thread for contrasting seams creates subtle effects on light fabrics.
