How to use it

• Make sashiko or decorative casting stitches on plain linen or cotton: the thickness of the thread makes them legible.
• On a black or grey fabric, plum topstitching makes the cutouts stand out without changing the silhouette.
• Embroider a small monogram with a front stitch to personalize a bag or pencil case.
• Keep the thread length moderate: a thick thread that is too long rubs against the fabric and crumbles.

For beautiful finishes, choose a cotton canvas or washed linen and dark buttons. A fine embroidery thread completes the set for more delicate details.
