Features

Thiscord wireis inpolyester, presented in30 m reel(33 yards). TheCordis a twisted thread, thicker than a classic sewing thread: it is chosen for areas that work, such as buttons, topstitching or bag seams. L'ecruis a slightly off-white, warmer than a pure white, and blends in with natural fabrics.

How to use it

• On a canvas bag, topstitch the handles by drawing a square with a cross: this shape distributes tensions better.
• Do a few back stitches at the beginning and end of the stitch to lock in the thick thread.
• On an ecru or cream fabric, use it for decorative basting stitches, visible on the surface.
• Don't pull on the fabric in advance: let the presser foot drag the fabric along.

Think of cotton or linen canvases and webbing handles for your bags. A set of wooden or horn buttons completes this ecru well.
