Gütermann Super Strong Cording Wire - 30 m - No. 213

A must-have for topstitching on jeans: the bright blue of the Gütermann cord No. 213, made of polyester, evokes classic denim stitching. 30 m spool.

Technical details

TheCordis a thick twisted thread: larger than a standard thread, it gives a clearly visible stitch and resists friction from belts, pockets and loops. ThePolyester materialmakes it a strong sewing thread, and the30 m reelcovers touch-ups or a small series of finishes. TheColour No. 213is a bright medium blue, which blends with faded denim, white, light grey and mustard yellows.

Use cases

• To replace a worn topstitch on a jeans pocket, undo a few stitches to locate the entrance to the old seam and stitch in the same holes.
• Set the stitch to 3.5 mm and use a large gauge needle: a longer stitch highlights the thread.
• On a tote bag, reinforce the attachment of the handles with a square of crossed stitches.

Pair it with a cotton or denim canvas and decorative rivets. A jeans needle with an elongated eye completes this thread well.
