How to use

Load the spool onto the machine’s thread stand or use a suitable thread holder for hand sewing. Thread the machine according to the manufacturer’s threading path and set a balanced tension appropriate for the fabric weight. For hand sewing, cut an appropriate length and use a needle compatible with the fabric. Sew test stitches on a fabric scrap to verify tension and stitch quality before beginning the main work. Replace the spool when thread supply is low to avoid interruptions.

Usage recommendations

Use a needle size and machine tension suitable for the fabric type; finer needles and lower tension for lightweight fabrics, larger needles and higher tension for heavier textiles. Store the thread spool in a dry, dust‑free place away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and reduce abrasion. For visible seams, test the dark grey shade on an inconspicuous area to confirm colour match.
