Our advice

• To repair a school bag strap, sew a square reinforced with several passes, instead of a simple line that would give way quickly.
• On an outdoor cushion or blind, use it to close corners by hand with an almost invisible scale stitch.
• Be sure to keep a suitable needle: a needle that is too thin will damage the thread.

For a curtain or cushion, pair it with grey twill tape and linen upholstery.
