Features

Made ofpolyester, this cord wire is sold in a spool of30 m. Cording means thick, twisted thread, i.e. made up of strands twisted together: the seam comes out in relief and the thread holds up better to friction than a fine thread. Then° 396offers a bright green that stays sharp even on narrow stitching lines. It is sold by the piece.

Use cases

• For a tote handle, stitch a square reinforced with a cross: the cross distributes the pulling effort over the entire sewn area.
• To gather a thick skirt, pass two rows of parallel long stitches: this resistant thread supports the pull when you tighten the gathers.
• Before stitching on a fold or a thick seam, try on a layered scrap of the same thickness to judge the result.

Lay it on a natural cotton or linen canvas for a neutral background. Metal rings or rivets will complete a colorful bag.
