How to use it

• To gather a skirt or sleeve, stitch two rows of long stitches and pull the threads: the cord resists traction better.
• Attach contrasting colour buttons to a grey garment for a soft, elaborate detail.
• Avoid waxing or stretching the thread too hard: moderate tension lets the fabric breathe.
• Sew a hood placket or patch pocket with unique topstitching 3mm from the edge.

Pair it with linen, soft cotton or fine wool, and mother-of-pearl buttons. This makes for a tender and elegant whole.
