Technical details

This sewing thread made ofpolyesteris delivered in a reel of30 m, under the referencen° 351. The termCordindicates a thicker, tightly twisted thread: it is more visible in topstitching and better armed against friction. It is suitable for buttons, buttonholes and reinforcements.

How to use it

• On a khaki canvas jacket, use this warm tone to emphasize the flat seams of the shoulders.
• For parallel topstitching, guide yourself with the hem foot or machine ruler rather than by eye.
• Before sewing on a light fabric, check that the thread is not likely to rub off by rubbing it on a damp scrap.
• When connecting two threads, tie a weaver's knot rather than just a knot so that it doesn't come undone.

Think of dark wooden buttons and cotton straps to tie the whole thing together.
