Product Information

Full details

This Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread is designed for all sewers, from beginners to experienced crafters, looking for a reliable and versatile thread for any project. Its key benefit is its exceptional strength and durability, making it suitable for both hand and machine sewing across all fabric types. A potential caveat is that the largest spool sizes come in a more limited color selection compared to the smaller 100m reels. This thread offers a strong, lint-free, and tear-resistant option, combining the smooth finish of silk with the resilience of polyester.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Gutermann Sew All thread?

The primary benefit is its versatility and strength; it's suitable for all fabrics and for both hand and machine sewing, offering durable and secure stitches without producing lint.

Can this thread be used for all types of sewing projects?

Yes, it is designed as an all-purpose thread and is suitable for a wide range of projects, including garment construction, alterations, quilting, and general repairs.

What fabrics is this thread suitable for?

It is suitable for all fabrics, from lightweight materials like silk and cotton to heavier fabrics such as denim and canvas.

Does this thread leave lint?

No, a key feature of this thread is that it produces no fibre lint, ensuring cleaner sewing and finished projects.

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

The 100-meter reels are available in a much wider variety of colors, ideal for projects where color matching is critical. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) come in a smaller range of colors but offer better value for high-volume projects.

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

While strong, for highly exposed outdoor fabrics that require extreme weather resistance, a specialized outdoor thread might be more appropriate. However, for general outdoor use, its durability is often sufficient.

How should I store the thread?

Store the thread on its spool in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and color.

Troubleshooting

Thread tangling or knotting during machine sewing

Ensure the sewing machine is correctly threaded, including the bobbin. Check the upper tension setting; it might be too tight. Clean lint from the feed dogs and bobbin case.

Thread breaking during use

Verify that the needle is appropriate for the fabric and thread size (use a sharp, new needle). Check for burrs on the sewing machine's needle plate or bobbin case. Ensure the thread path is free of obstructions.

Excessive lint generated

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 fraying the thread due to a dull edge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for all fabrics and sewing methods (hand/machine)
  • Strong and durable for long-lasting seams
  • Produces no lint, keeping projects clean
  • High seam strength provides excellent stitch security
  • Wide range of colors available on smaller spools

Cons

  • Larger spools (250m+) have a more limited color selection
  • May not be the absolute finest thread for delicate heirloom sewing where silk is traditionally preferred

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply thread your sewing machine or needle with the Gutermann Sew All thread. For machine sewing, ensure your machine is properly threaded and set to the appropriate tension for your fabric type.

Compatibility: This thread is compatible with all types of fabrics, from delicate silks and cottons to heavier materials like denim and canvas. It is suitable for use with all domestic and industrial sewing machines, as well as for hand sewing.

Care: Keep thread wound on the spool. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity. The polyester construction makes it resistant to most common household chemicals and washing processes.
