Product Information

Full details

The Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread in color 205 is designed for sewers of all levels looking for a versatile and durable thread suitable for a wide range of fabrics. Its key benefit is its exceptional strength and resistance to breakage, ensuring secure seams. A potential consideration is that while it boasts a subtle lustre, it is a polyester thread and may not be the ideal choice for highly delicate silks where natural fibers are preferred. This thread is a reliable option for everyday sewing, mending, and crafting projects, offering no fiber lint and over 50% seam reserve for optimal stitch security.

FAQs

What is the primary use for Gutermann Sew All thread?

Gutermann Sew All thread is designed as a universal thread suitable for all materials and all types of sewing, including hand and machine sewing, making it ideal for general projects, mending, and garment construction.

Is this thread suitable for delicate fabrics like silk?

While versatile, this polyester thread is best suited for a wide range of fabrics. For very fine silks or natural fiber garments where a natural thread is preferred, consider specialized silk threads. However, for most applications, it performs well.

What does 'no fibre lint' mean?

'No fibre lint' means the thread produces minimal to no loose fibers when sewn. This keeps your sewing machine cleaner and prevents fuzz from accumulating in the mechanism or on your fabric.

What is the 'seam resistance reserve'?

The seam resistance reserve refers to the thread's ability to withstand stress beyond its breaking point. Having more than 50% reserve means the seam is significantly stronger than the minimum required for durability, ensuring stitches are secure.

How do I choose the right color?

Gutermann Sew All thread is available in a vast color range. For best results, match the thread color as closely as possible to your fabric. If an exact match isn't available, choosing a slightly darker shade often blends better than a lighter one.

Are larger reel sizes available and what are their benefits?

Yes, larger reel sizes (250, 500, and 1000 meters) are available. They come in a smaller color range but offer exceptional value for money for larger projects or frequent sewers.

What is the 'subtle lustre sheen'?

The subtle lustre sheen refers to a slight, gentle shine on the thread, giving finished projects a more refined and luxurious appearance compared to a completely matte thread.

Troubleshooting

Thread tangles or knots during machine sewing

Ensure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine, check that the bobbin is wound evenly, and verify that the upper tension is properly adjusted for the fabric and thread type. Clean lint from the machine's feed dogs and bobbin case.

Skipped stitches

Check that the needle is the correct type and size for your fabric and thread, and that it is inserted correctly. Ensure the needle is sharp and not bent. Re-thread the machine and check machine maintenance.

Thread breaks during sewing

Verify that the needle is sharp and not damaged. Check the machine's tension settings, as overly tight tension can cause breakage. Ensure the thread path is free from obstructions or rough edges. Use a higher quality needle if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional tear resistance for durable seams
  • No fiber lint produced during use
  • Versatile for all materials and both hand/machine sewing
  • High-quality German manufacturing
  • Subtle sheen adds a premium finish

Cons

  • Polyester may not be suitable for all natural fiber garments
  • Color 205 is a specific shade of fresh green, limiting immediate color matching without a swatch
  • Smaller reel sizes (100m) may be less economical for large projects compared to larger spools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This thread requires no special setup. Simply thread your sewing machine or hand needle with the Gutermann Sew All thread (color 205). Ensure your machine's tension is appropriately set for polyester thread. For hand sewing, select a needle size appropriate for the thread thickness and the fabric being used.

Compatibility:

Gutermann Sew All thread is compatible with virtually all sewing machines and suitable for use with a vast range of fabrics, including cotton, linen, synthetics, and blends. It is an excellent all-purpose thread.

Care:

  • Store thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or degradation.
  • Keep threads wound on their reels to prevent tangling.
  • The thread itself is washable and can withstand standard washing and drying procedures for garments once sewn.
