Gütermann Super Strong Cording Wire - 30 m - No. 64

Features

This coil of30 mcontains apolyester yarnCord-type: larger and more twisted than a universal thread, it forms a thick and clearly visible seam. Its tensile strength makes it the thread for stressed stitches: buttons, buttonholes, decorative topstitching. Polyester maintains a good regularity along the entire length.

Directions for use

• Choose an elongated eye needle or a jeans needle n° 90 to 100: the standard eye wears out and frays this thick thread.
• To sew a foot button, double thread and then wrap it under the button to form a rod.
• When topstitching with the machine, extend the stitch length to about 3.5 mm, and adjust the tension downwards.
• Wax the thread by hand before sewing to prevent it from twisting.

Pair it with metal or wooden buttons, and denim or woollen cloth.
