Product Information

Full details

The Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread is designed for sewers of all levels seeking a versatile and durable thread for general sewing projects. Its key benefit is its strength and resistance to fiber lint, ensuring clean stitches and secure seams for both hand and machine sewing. A potential caveat is that the 250Mtr reels are available in a smaller color range compared to the 100-meter options, which might limit exact color matching for very specific projects.

FAQs

What is the best use for Gutermann Sew All thread?

This thread is ideal for general-purpose sewing, including garment construction, alterations, home decor, and repairs. Its strength makes it suitable for durable items.

Can I use this thread for all types of fabrics?

Yes, it is designed for all materials, from cotton and linen to synthetics and blends. For very fine or delicate fabrics, ensure you use an appropriate fine needle to avoid damage.

Is this thread suitable for quilting?

While it can be used for quilting, especially for piecing, its strength and slight sheen might be more noticeable than specialized quilting threads. However, it's excellent for quilting projects requiring durable seams.

How do I care for items sewn with this thread?

Items sewn with Gutermann Sew All thread can typically be machine washed up to 95°C (203°F) and are resistant to abrasion, allowing for durable care.

What does 'no fibre lint' mean?

It means the thread is constructed to minimize shedding of small fibers during sewing, resulting in cleaner stitches, a cleaner sewing machine, and a neater final product.

Are the larger reels (250Mtr+) available in as many colors as the 100Mtr reels?

No, the larger reels like the 250-meter ones come in a smaller range of colors compared to the 100-meter reels, though they offer better value for bulk projects.

Is this thread good for outdoor projects?

Yes, its strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion make it a good choice for many outdoor applications, though for extreme weather resistance, specialized outdoor threads might be considered.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Check for burrs or damage on the sewing machine needle and needle plate. Ensure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine. Adjust machine tension settings or try a new needle.

Skipped stitches

Ensure the needle is appropriate for the fabric type and inserted correctly. Check that the thread is not tangled and the machine is clean, especially the bobbin area.

Puckered seams

Reduce upper thread tension or increase bobbin tension slightly. Ensure you are using the correct needle size for the fabric and thread combination. Stitch slowly if necessary.

Excessive lint in machine

Although this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine is regularly cleaned, especially around the bobbin case and feed dogs.
