Technical characteristics

Sewing thread made ofpolyester, length30 m, coloursn° 328. Corded thread is larger than a conventional thread and its tight twist gives it a good hold: it lends itself to visible topstitching, buttonholes and button fastenings on thick fabrics.

Our advice

• On white linen or unbleached cotton, turquoise topstitching is reminiscent of a marine style without weighing down the piece.
• For a handmade buttonhole, work the scallop stitch by tightening the loops tightly against the edge of the cut fabric.
• Lightly waxing the thread with a piece of beeswax prevents it from getting tangled when sewing by hand.
• Make a double breakpoint at the end of the line rather than a simple knot, which may slip into the loose stitches.

For your fixings, pair it with coconut or mother-of-pearl buttons and an elongated eye needle.
