Directions for use

• For a foot button, leave a small gap between the button and the fabric by slipping a match or pin under the button while sewing, then wrap the thread under the button to form the stem.
• For decorative machine stitching, place it in the bobbin case and adjust the top thread tension to looser, with a wide eye needle.
• To gather a skirt or curtain by hand, a drawstring pulled without breaking avoids having to start the work again.
• Avoid threading it through a thread that is too long: beyond 60 cm, the twist can twist and form knots.

Pair it with wooden or horn buttons and an elongated eye needle for finishes on wool.
