DMC Coton à Broder is designed for serious embroiderers and hobbyists seeking a professional, refined finish for decorative motifs and intricate stitching. Crafted from the finest long-fibre cotton, this thread provides a consistent, non-divisible texture that maintains its shape beautifully through complex patterns; however, users should note that because the strands are non-divisible, it requires selecting the correct gauge from the outset for your specific project needs.

No, this thread is designed with 4 non-divisible strands and is intended to be used as a single unit.
It refers to the gauge or thickness of the thread, with 16 being a standard weight for detailed embroidery.
DMC uses high-quality dyes, but it is always recommended to test a small swatch if you intend to wash the final project in hot water.
It performs best on smooth, tightly woven embroidery fabrics like linen or high-quality cotton.
The flame-singeing process removes excess fiber ends to create a smooth surface that resists fluffing while you stitch.
Check your needle for burrs or sharp edges and ensure you are using the correct needle size for a size 16 thread.
Ensure your hoop is tightened properly to maintain even fabric tension, which prevents the thread from pulling loops.
To achieve the best results, ensure you are using a needle size appropriate for the size 16 gauge to avoid damaging the thread or the fabric. When starting your project, secure your thread using a waste knot or by weaving the tail into your initial stitches to keep the back of your work clean. For care, keep the thread away from direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain color vibrancy and store in a cool, dry place to prevent fiber degradation. If the thread becomes slightly tangled during storage, a gentle pull through your fingers will usually restore its smooth profile due to the high-quality mercerised finish.
