FAQs
What is the weight of this thread?
This is a No. 50 weight polyester thread, which is specifically suited for heavier fabrics like denim.
Can I use this thread on a standard home sewing machine?
Yes, provided you use an appropriate needle size (NM90-110) and adjust your machine's tension settings.
What does the bi-colour optic feature do?
The bi-colour optic helps the thread blend seamlessly with the variable tones found in real denim fabric for a more authentic, professional finish.
Is this thread suitable for hand sewing?
Yes, it is excellent for manual repairs, darning, and decorative hand-stitching tasks.
How much thread is on the spool?
Each spool contains 100 metres of thread.
What needle size do you recommend?
For best results, use a Universal Needle sized NM90 to 110.
Troubleshooting
Thread breakage during sewing
Ensure you are using a needle size between NM90 and 110 and check that your upper thread tension is not set too high.
Stitches look uneven or looping
Re-thread both the bobbin and the top thread, and verify that the thread is unwinding smoothly from the spool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, it is critical to use the correct equipment with Gütermann Denim thread. Use a Universal Needle in sizes NM90 to 110 to accommodate the thread's diameter and prevent jamming or breakage. When threading your machine, check that the tension is balanced for heavier thread; you may need to loosen the top tension slightly compared to standard all-purpose polyester threads. Always test on a scrap piece of denim fabric before beginning your primary project to confirm stitch quality and tension settings. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the thread's colour and physical properties over time.
