FAQs

What types of fabric can I use this thread on?

Gutermann Sew All thread is designed for all materials, from lightweight silks and cottons to medium-weight polyesters and blends.

Is this thread suitable for heavy-duty projects?

While strong and durable for general sewing, for extremely heavy-duty projects like upholstery or sail making, a heavier weight thread might be more appropriate. However, it is robust for most garment and craft applications.

How do I choose the right color?

For best results, try to match the thread color as closely as possible to your fabric. Gutermann offers a wide range of colors, especially in the 100-meter spools.

Can I use this thread for quilting?

Yes, it can be used for quilting, especially for stitch-in-the-ditch or quilting designs where a fine, strong thread is beneficial. For hand quilting, ensure your needle is appropriate.

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

The 100-meter reels offer a vast color selection and are ideal for projects requiring specific shades. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) come in a more limited color range but offer better value for money for larger projects or frequent use of basic colors.

Does this thread shrink or fade?

Polyester thread is generally resistant to shrinkage. It is also colorfast, meaning it is resistant to fading during washing and normal light exposure, ensuring longevity of your projects.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during machine sewing

Check machine tension settings, ensure the needle is sharp and correctly inserted, and verify that the thread path is clear of obstructions. Try a new needle if the current one appears dull.

Lint production

While this thread is designed for minimal lint, excessive lint can sometimes indicate machine issues. Ensure your machine's bobbin area is clean. For hand sewing, ensure you are not pulling the thread too tightly through the fabric.

Stitches appearing uneven

Adjust the machine's stitch length and tension. Ensure you are using the correct needle type for your fabric. Thread the machine carefully, ensuring the presser foot is up when threading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Thread the Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread onto your sewing machine or needle as you would any standard thread. Ensure your machine is set to the appropriate tension for the fabric being used; this thread generally works well with standard tension settings.

Compatibility: This thread is compatible with all standard sewing machines and is suitable for use with a wide range of fabrics, from light cottons and silks to medium-weight linens and polyesters. It is also compatible with most sewing needles.

Care: Store thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation. The thread itself is colorfast and durable, so finished projects can be washed according to the fabric care instructions.
