Use cases

• For contrasting topstitching on an ecru fabric, draw a line with this purple along a collar: it stands out without excess.
• On a velvet, sew the button loosely: a shaft equal to the thickness of the fabric prevents the velvet from being puckered.
• Before cutting the slit of a buttonhole, make a row of stitches all around it: it serves as a reinforcement.
• Test the tension on a double fall: a thick thread often requires the top thread to be slightly relaxed.

It goes well with metal or dark wood buttons. Keep a classic polyester sewing thread for the bobbin.
