FAQs

Is this thread suitable for all types of sewing machines?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is designed for compatibility with all standard domestic and industrial sewing machines.

Can I use this thread for quilting or upholstery?

While excellent for general sewing, for heavy-duty upholstery or intricate quilting, specialized threads might offer superior performance. However, it can be used for lighter quilting and basic upholstery tasks.

What does 'no fiber lint' mean for my sewing machine?

It means the thread is constructed to minimize shedding. This prevents lint buildup in your sewing machine's mechanisms, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and preventing potential operational issues.

How do I choose the right color?

Gutermann Sew All thread is available in a vast color range. For best results, try to match the thread color as closely as possible to your fabric. For a less visible seam, choose a color that matches the fabric exactly. For decorative purposes, select a contrasting color.

Are the larger reels (250m+) suitable for hand sewing?

Yes, the larger reels are excellent for hand sewing as well. They offer great value if you do a lot of hand sewing or have large projects requiring significant amounts of thread.

What is the strength of this thread?

This thread is tear-resistant and provides more than 50% seam resistance reserve, ensuring optimal stitch security and durability for general sewing projects.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during machine sewing

Check that the thread is correctly threaded, the needle is sharp and appropriate for the fabric, and the tension is properly set. Ensure the machine is clean and free of lint.

Skipped stitches

Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent or dull. Verify the thread is seated properly in the tension discs and that the machine is compatible with the thread weight.

Lint buildup in sewing machine

While this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine is regularly cleaned and lint is removed from the bobbin case and feed dogs.
