Product Information

Full details

Gutermann Sew-all thread is designed for both sewing enthusiasts and professionals who require a reliable, versatile solution for hand and machine projects across all fabric types. Its key benefit is superior stitch security and strength, preventing frayed or puckered seams for a professional finish. One caveat is that the 100-metre reel size may require frequent changes for very large quilting or upholstery projects, making it better suited for general garment construction and repairs.

FAQs

What is the recommended needle size for this thread?

This thread performs best with universal or sewing machine needles in the 70-90 size range.

Can I use this for both hand and machine sewing?

Yes, Gutermann Sew-all is specifically engineered to be versatile enough for both manual and mechanized sewing applications.

Is this thread suitable for heavy-duty upholstery?

It is intended for general sewing projects. For heavy-duty upholstery, a thicker, specialized nylon or polyester cord is typically recommended.

How much thread comes on one reel?

Each reel contains 100 metres of thread.

Will this thread fray or pucker my fabrics?

No, it is designed specifically to prevent fraying and seam puckering, provided the machine tension is adjusted correctly.

Troubleshooting

Thread snapping during machine sewing

Check that the needle size is within the 70-90 range and ensure the tension is not set too tight.

Skipped stitches

Re-thread the machine and confirm the needle is not dull or damaged.

Seams look uneven

Clean the bobbin area and ensure the thread is properly seated in the machine's tension path.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with a wide range of fabric types
  • High tear resistance ensures long-lasting seams
  • Prevents common issues like puckering and fraying
  • Smooth texture ensures consistent feed through machines

Cons

  • 100-metre length may be short for industrial-scale tasks
  • Requires specific needle size range for best results
  • Limited to standard weight, not suitable for heavy-duty denim or leather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure your machine is equipped with a needle size between 70 and 90. Using a needle outside this range may lead to skipped stitches or thread breakage. When setting up, maintain standard machine tension as the thread is designed for balanced performance. No special care is required after stitching; the thread is color-fast and laundry-resistant. Store reels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fibers over time.
