Technical characteristics

Made ofpolyester, this cord is wound on a30 m reel. A cord thread is made up of several twisted strands, i.e. twisted together: this twist gives body to the topstitching and supports a button that is closed every day. The "super resistant" mention is intended for stitches that work: buttonholes, pocket edges, bag handles. Each spool is sold individually, here atColour No. 493.

How to use it

• Sew the button onto a match laid flat on it, remove it, then wrap the thread under the button to form a rod that will make it easier to buttonhole.
• Do not double the thread: already thick, it will make knots in the eye of the needle.
• On a light linen, choose this grey with decorative topstitching for a soft contrast, or on a grey fabric for a discreet look.

Complete with tailor shank buttons and a pair of embroidery scissors to cut clean at the end of the stitch.
