Full details
The Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread is designed for sewers of all levels looking for a reliable, versatile thread for any project. Its key benefit is its suitability for all materials and both hand and machine sewing, offering high seam resistance and no fiber lint. A potential caveat is that larger reel sizes may come in a more limited color selection compared to the 100-meter reels. This thread combines the smooth finish of silk with the strength of polyester, ensuring durable and secure stitches.

FAQs
What types of fabric can I use this thread with?
Gutermann Sew All Polyester Thread is designed for use with all natural and synthetic fabrics. This includes cotton, linen, silk, wool, polyester, nylon, and blends.
Is this thread suitable for embroidery?
While it can be used for basic decorative stitching, this thread is primarily intended for general sewing and construction. For detailed embroidery, specialized embroidery threads with a different sheen and weight are typically recommended.
What is the difference between the 100m reels and the larger reels?
The 100-meter reels are available in a very wide range of colors, perfect for projects requiring specific shades. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) come in a more limited, but still extensive, selection of core colors and offer better value for money on larger projects.
Can I use this thread for upholstery or heavy-duty projects?
For standard upholstery and general-purpose sewing, yes. However, for extremely heavy-duty applications like thick leather or sailcloth, a heavier-duty thread like Gutermann Upholstery thread or a strong buttonhole twist may be more appropriate.
How should I store my Gutermann thread?
Store your thread spools in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This helps to preserve the color and the integrity of the polyester fibers.
What does 'no fibre lint' mean?
'No fibre lint' means that as you sew, the thread does not shed small fibers. This results in a cleaner sewing environment, prevents lint buildup in your machine, and contributes to a more professional finish on your fabric.
Is this thread suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, this thread is an excellent choice for children's clothing. It is durable, safe for skin contact as it's 100% polyester, and produces strong seams that can withstand frequent wear and washing.
Troubleshooting
Thread breaks during sewing
Check that the needle is sharp and appropriate for the fabric. Ensure correct thread tension and that the thread is not snagged on the spool. Verify the thread is correctly seated in the machine's tension discs.
Skipped stitches
Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent or damaged. Check that the thread is compatible with the needle type and fabric. Clean the feed dogs and ensure the bobbin is wound evenly.
Excessive lint
While this thread is designed to produce no lint, ensure your machine's needle plate and bobbin area are clean. A dull or incorrect needle can sometimes cause fabric fibers to shed.
Knots forming in the thread
This thread is engineered to be knot-free. If knots are occurring, check for snags in the machine's thread path or ensure the bobbin is inserted correctly and unwinding smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
