How do you use this glossy glove thread?
“Au Chinois” glove thread is traditionally used in Lunéville bead embroidery, where its fineness allows beads to be secured precisely onto the fabric. It’s also suitable for fine hand sewing, particularly for appliqué, which involves sewing a pattern onto a background by tucking the fabric slightly under the needle. Its even texture also makes it a good thread for cross-stitch when you’re looking for a clean, neat finish. In DIY jewelry making, it can be used to string beads or create woven patterns with great precision. For inspiration, check out the moon brooch tutorial, which illustrates one of the possibilities offered by this type of thread.
