FAQs

What makes this thread 'all-round'?

It is called 'all-round' because it is suitable for all types of fabrics and seams, and can be used for both machine and hand sewing, making it versatile for most projects.

What is the best needle size to use with this thread?

The recommended needle size is between 70 and 90. For finer fabrics, opt for a 70-80 needle, and for heavier fabrics, a 90 needle is suitable.

Can I use this thread for heavy-duty projects like denim?

Yes, this thread is strong and durable, making it suitable for many general sewing projects, including repairs or construction of items like denim, though extremely heavy-duty applications might require a specialized heavy-duty thread.

Does this thread create lint?

No, Gutermann Sew-All thread is designed to produce no fiber lint during sewing, which helps keep your sewing machine and work area cleaner.

What is the length of the thread on the spool?

Each spool contains 100 metres (approximately 110 yards) of thread.

Is this thread suitable for quilting?

While it can be used for quilting, its primary design is for general sewing. For quilting, threads specifically made for quilting might offer better handling and finish, especially for intricate patterns.

Where is this thread made?

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during machine sewing

Check if the needle size is appropriate (70-90). Ensure the needle is not bent or dull. Verify the thread is correctly threaded through the machine and tension is not too high.

Puckered seams

Reduce upper thread tension. Ensure the correct needle size is used for the fabric. Check for an even stitch length on your machine.

Thread fraying excessively

Ensure you are using the correct needle size (a larger needle can sometimes fray the thread more). Avoid pulling the thread too tightly as it exits the machine.

Lint buildup in sewing machine

Although this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine is regularly cleaned and that the thread path is clear.
