Composition and dimensions

TheCordis a thicker twisted thread than standard sewing thread: it draws a regular and clearly visible line, while holding up better over time. Each spool contains30 m(33 yds)polyesterin the colourNo. 25.

Our advice

• For a double row of topstitching on denim, place the first one 2 mm from the edge, then wedge the second one on the presser foot, about 6 mm away.
• Judge the shade in daylight by rolling out a few turns on your fabric: a blue changes a lot under artificial lighting.
• To finish a line, pull the threads from the top to the wrong side and then tie them, instead of a breakpoint that would make an extra thickness.
• On a bag, stitch the corners of the pockets in a triangle rather than a straight line to prevent them from tearing off.

Navy blue cotton canvas, matching bias and jeans needles make this an effective set for denim accessories.
