Technical details

Unlike a conventional sewing thread, theCordis made up of strongly twisted strands, which gives it volume and good resistance to use. The coil contains30 mofpolyesterGütermann, in the colourDark Grey No. 36.

How to use it

• Over black jeans, choose this grey for a noticeable but discreet topstitching, which does not contrast with the colour of the canvas.
• For a hand buttonhole on a suit or coat, trace it with a pencil, then sew tight buttonhole stitches around the slit, keeping the thread perpendicular to the edge.
• Finish the pocket bottoms with a stop strap, a small reinforcement of a few tight stitches that prevents tearing.
• Try stitch length on a double-layered scrap: too short, the cord perforates the fabric and weakens it.

A mottled grey woollen fabric, horn or dark metal buttons and a black sewing thread for the assembly seams go well with this spool.
