How to use

Thread the spool into your sewing machine following the machine manufacturer’s threading path and adjust tension settings according to fabric weight. For hand sewing, cut an appropriate length and secure the end with a simple knot or a small drop of clear fabric glue to prevent fraying. Test stitch on a fabric scrap to ensure colour match and tension are correct before starting the main work.

Usage recommendations

Use matching or slightly contrasting thread colours depending on the desired visual effect. For heavier fabrics, select an appropriate needle size and, if necessary, a slightly higher machine tension to achieve balanced seams. Store the spool away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain colour and thread integrity.
