FAQs

What does 'rPET' stand for?

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate. It signifies that the polyester used in this thread is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.

Can this thread be used for all types of sewing projects?

Yes, this Sew-All thread is designed to be a universal sewing thread, suitable for hand sewing, machine sewing, closing seams, backstitching, and even ornamental stitches on all fabric types.

What is the recommended needle size for this thread?

For machine sewing, a universal needle in size 80–90 is recommended.

How long is the thread on each spool?

Each spool in this set contains 100 meters of thread.

Is this thread suitable for outdoor or heavy-duty applications?

While the thread has high tear resistance and is durable, it is considered a universal thread. For extremely heavy-duty applications like awnings or sails, specialized threads might offer superior performance, but this rPET thread is robust for general garment and home décor use.

Does the recycled material affect the thread's quality?

No, the product description states that the rPET thread offers the same trusted quality as standard Sew-All thread, providing even thickness, no twisting, high tear resistance, and excellent flexibility.

What is the environmental impact of this thread?

The thread is made from 100% recycled PET bottles, diverting plastic waste from landfills. The packaging also utilizes recycled materials, further reducing environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Check needle sharpness and size (ensure it's appropriate for the fabric and thread, e.g., 80-90 for universal use). Verify machine tension is correctly set. Ensure the thread is not snagged on the spool or in the machine guides.

Skipped stitches

Ensure the needle is correctly inserted and not bent. Clean your sewing machine's bobbin case and feed dogs. Try a different needle, as even new needles can sometimes be defective.

Thread tangling or knotting

Check the upper thread tension; it might be too loose. Ensure the bobbin is inserted correctly and wound evenly. Confirm the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool without any snags.
