Product Information

Full details

This Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread is designed for sewers of all levels looking for a reliable, all-purpose thread. Its key benefit is its versatility and durability, making it suitable for nearly any fabric. A potential caveat is that larger reel sizes come in a more limited color selection compared to the smaller 100-meter spools. This thread is known for its tear resistance, no fiber lint production, and optimal stitch security, making it ideal for both hand and machine sewing projects.

FAQs

What types of fabrics can I use this thread with?

Gutermann Sew All thread is designed for all materials, making it suitable for cotton, linen, silk, synthetics, blends, and more.

Is this thread suitable for hand sewing?

Yes, it is designed for both hand and machine sewing, offering excellent durability for manual stitches.

What does 'no fibre lint' mean?

It means the thread is manufactured in a way that minimizes shedding of fine fibers during sewing, resulting in a cleaner workspace and finished garment.

Are the larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) the same quality as the 100m reels?

Yes, the quality of the thread is consistent across all sizes. The larger reels are simply a more economical option for high-volume projects.

What is the 'seam resistance reserve'?

This refers to the thread's strength, indicating that the seam can withstand forces greater than the initial thread strength, providing extra durability and security.

How should I store the thread to ensure its longevity?

Store the spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the polyester fibers.

Can I use this thread for decorative stitching?

While excellent for functional seams, its wide color range also makes it suitable for decorative stitching on many projects, though specialized embroidery threads offer more sheen and texture for purely decorative purposes.

Troubleshooting

Thread tangling or breaking during machine sewing

Check that the needle is sharp and correctly inserted. Ensure the correct needle size for the fabric and thread is used. Verify machine tension settings are appropriate and that the thread path is clear of obstructions.

Lint buildup in the sewing machine

Clean your sewing machine regularly, especially the bobbin area and feed dogs. Ensure you are using the lint-free Gutermann Sew All thread and that your machine is properly maintained.

Stitches not looking secure or breaking easily

Confirm that the thread is properly threaded through the machine. Increase stitch security by ensuring the machine tension is correctly balanced and that the thread's high tear resistance is not compromised by incorrect sewing practices.
