Gütermann Super Resistant Cording Wire - 30 m - No. 18

Ideal for highlighting the seams of a coat, apron or bag without falling into garish contrast, this Gütermann cord n° 18 features a very dark, almost forest pine green. It blends into dark fabrics while keeping relief.

Technical characteristics

TheCordis a thick, highly twisted thread: several strands are twisted to form a round, clean and friction-resistant surface, an asset for high-stress seams. The spool contains30 mof wirepolyester, or 33 yards, and theColour number 18allows you to buy the exact same shade later.

How to use it

• Before sewing on the work, test the tension on a double scrap: a cord often requires it to be loosened a little.
• For straight edge-to-edge stitching, use the presser foot or the needle plate marker instead of the eye.
• On a bag, reinforce the junction of the handles with a small rectangle of tight stitches.
• Turn the corners with the needle stitched into the fabric with the foot up to keep a sharp angle.

A dark green or black polyester sewing thread for hidden seams completes this spool, as do dark wood buttons.
