Features

ThisSuper strong cord wireis inpolyesterand presents itself in30 m reel. The term "cordonnet" refers to a thread that is larger and more twisted than a classic sewing thread: it lays a straight stitch, clearly visible in topstitching, and brings more hold to buttons and buttonholes. Sold individually, it is suitable for targeted work rather than long seams.

Directions for use

• For a handmade buttonhole, work in a tight buttonhole stitch and finish with a small stop bar at each end: this prevents the slit from opening.
• In machine topstitching, lengthen the stitch to 3.5 or 4 mm so that the thick thread lays flat.
• Reserve it for the top thread and keep a classic bobbin sewing thread.
• On a tone-on-tone like this navy, first test on a drop to judge the relief obtained.

Pair it with large coat shank buttons and elongated eye needles, which are easy to thread despite the thickness of the thread.
