Our advice

• To attach the buttons of a coat, leave a small rod of thread between the button and the fabric so that the thickness of the buttonhole can pass through.
• Use it to cast on strong gathers: sew two rows of large stitches and pull evenly.
• Reinforce the fasteners of a bag or handle with a tight back stitch, rather than a simple straight stitch.
• On the machine, first try a piece of fabric: the cord requires a stronger needle and a suitable tension.

Combine it with shank buttons and elongated eye needles for finishes on canvas, woollen cloth or thick linen.
