FAQs

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

Yes, due to its 100% polyester composition and tear resistance, it is suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extreme weather exposure, specialized outdoor threads may offer enhanced UV resistance.

Can I use this thread for quilting?

Absolutely. Its strength and low lint make it an excellent choice for quilting, ensuring durable and neat stitches.

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

The 100m reels are available in a very wide range of colors for smaller projects. The larger spools (250m, 500m, 1000m) offer better value for money on larger projects but come in a more limited selection of basic colors.

Is the thread colorfast?

Gutermann threads are known for their excellent colorfastness, meaning the colors are resistant to fading from washing and light exposure.

What does 'Sew All' mean?

'Sew All' signifies that the thread is designed to be a universal, all-purpose thread suitable for virtually all fabrics and sewing applications.

What kind of needle should I use with this thread?

A universal needle in the size range of 70-90 is recommended for optimal performance with this thread across various fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Thread breakage during sewing

Ensure you are using the correct needle size (70-90). Check that the needle is not bent or dull. Verify your sewing machine is properly threaded and the tension settings are appropriate.

Skipped stitches

This can often be resolved by using a new, sharp needle of the correct size for your fabric. Also, check your machine's threading path for any obstructions.

Lint buildup in the sewing machine

While this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine's bobbin area and feed dogs are clean. Regular cleaning prevents any buildup from affecting stitch quality.

Seams appearing puckered

Adjust your machine's tension settings. Too much tension can cause puckering. Also, ensure you are not stretching the fabric as you sew.
