When it may not be suitable

Additionally, if your project requires a specific color match that does not align with this sand shade, it may not provide the desired aesthetic result.

How to use

To use the Alterfil sewing thread, place the spool on the designated spool pin of your sewing machine. Ensure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine's tension discs and take-up lever according to your machine's manual. For hand sewing, cut a comfortable length of thread and thread it through the eye of your needle, tying a knot at the end if necessary. Maintain consistent fabric tension while sewing to achieve the best results.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the No. 120 thickness is appropriate for your specific fabric weight
• Ensure the sand color complements your project materials
• Check your sewing machine's compatibility with standard spool sizes

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use a needle size appropriate for No. 120 thread, typically a universal needle size 70/10 or 80/12. Always test the stitch quality on a scrap piece of the same fabric before beginning your main project to adjust machine tension settings if needed.
