FAQs

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is strong and durable, making it suitable for many outdoor applications where UV resistance is not the primary concern. For extreme UV exposure, consider specialized outdoor threads.

What is the difference between the 100m reels and larger reels?

The 100-meter reels offer a much wider variety of colors. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) come in a more limited color selection but provide better value for money for projects requiring significant amounts of thread.

How should I care for items sewn with this thread?

Items sewn with Gutermann Sew All thread can be machine washed and ironed according to the fabric's care instructions. The thread itself is durable and colorfast under normal washing conditions.

What does 'Made in Germany' signify for this thread?

It signifies high manufacturing standards and quality control, which Gutermann is known for, ensuring consistent performance and durability.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Ensure the needle is sharp and appropriate for the fabric. Check machine tension settings and ensure the thread is correctly guided through the machine. Verify the thread is not snagged or damaged on the spool.

Skipped stitches

Use a new, sharp needle suitable for the fabric type. Check that the machine is correctly threaded and that the bobbin is wound properly. Adjust stitch settings if necessary.

Excessive lint production

While this thread is designed to be lint-free, ensure your sewing machine's feed dogs and bobbin area are clean. Check that the needle is not dull, as this can cause fiber abrasion.
