Composition and dimensions

Thispolyester sewing threadin cordonnet account30 mper spool. Its thick twist, which is thicker than that of a conventional sewing thread, catches the light and makes each stitch stand out: this is what makes it suitable for ornamental topstitching, buttonholes and fastening buttons on coats or jackets. TheColour No. 315, frank and saturated, is reserved for the places where you want to attract the eye: pockets, collar seams, bag edges.

How to use it

• On a white, grey or beige fabric, limit the colour to a single detail, such as a pocket or flap, to keep it an accent.
• For a handmade effect, prick with a front stitch spaced 4 to 5 mm apart with an elongated eye needle.
• If you make a mistake, undo the stitching with a seam ripper rather than by pulling on the thread: the thick cord marks the fabric.
• Keep a consistent distance to the edge with the sewing guide or a marker foot.

Grey jeans, canvas or unbleached cotton make this shade stand out. A matching zipper will make a cohesive piece.
