FAQs

What types of fabric can I use this thread on?

Gutermann Sew All thread is designed for use with all types of fabrics, from light silks and cottons to heavier materials like denim and canvas.

Is this thread suitable for outdoor projects?

Yes, its strength and durability make it a good choice for many outdoor applications, though for extreme UV exposure, specialized outdoor threads might offer even greater longevity.

Can I use this thread for quilting?

Absolutely. Its strength and smooth finish are excellent for quilting, providing secure seams that hold up well.

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

The 100-meter reels come in a very wide variety of colors and are ideal for general sewing and matching specific projects. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) come in a smaller range of basic colors but offer better value for money if you use a lot of a particular color for larger projects.

Does this thread fade easily?

Gutermann threads are known for their colorfastness, meaning they are resistant to fading from washing. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can eventually cause fading over time.

What does 'no fibre lint' mean for my sewing?

It means the thread produces very little fluff or shedding when sewn. This keeps your sewing machine cleaner, prevents buildup in moving parts, and results in neater stitches.

Is this thread suitable for garment construction?

Yes, it is an excellent all-purpose thread for constructing garments due to its strength, durability, and smooth finish.

Troubleshooting

Thread tangling or knotting during machine sewing

Ensure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine, especially the tension discs. Check that the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly. Try re-threading the machine.

Skipped stitches

Verify that you are using the correct needle type and size for your fabric and thread. Ensure the needle is not bent or dull and is inserted correctly. Adjust machine tension if necessary.

Thread breaking during sewing

Check for burrs or rough spots on the sewing machine's needle plate or tension discs. Ensure the needle is not dull or bent. Reduce machine speed if sewing a thick layer of fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply thread your sewing machine or needle with the Gutermann Sew All thread. Ensure the thread is correctly seated in your machine's tension discs and guides for optimal stitch quality. For hand sewing, cut the desired length of thread and knot the end as usual.

Compatibility: This thread is compatible with all standard sewing machines and needles. It is designed for use with a wide range of fabrics, from lightweight cottons and silks to heavier denims and upholstery materials.
