Product Information

Full details

The Gutermann Sew-All Polyester Thread is an essential tool for sewing enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering a reliable, high-quality solution for both hand and machine sewing on all fabric types. Its primary benefit is the combination of high tensile strength and a snag-free finish that prevents puckering, ensuring durable and clean seams for any project. While this 100-metre spool is perfect for standard repairs and garments, users working on heavy-duty upholstery or specialized industrial projects may need to consider thicker thread alternatives.

FAQs

Is this thread suitable for heavy denim?

While it can handle standard seams, for heavy-duty jeans topstitching, a thicker specialty thread is often recommended.

Can I use this thread in an overlocker?

Yes, Gutermann Sew-All is suitable for overlocking and provides a clean, secure edge finish.

Does the thread shrink when washed?

The polyester material is highly stable and resistant to shrinking under normal washing conditions.

Is this thread colorfast?

Yes, it is designed to be colorfast to ensure your seams remain vibrant through repeated washing.

What is the recommended needle size?

The recommended needle size is 70-90 for optimal performance across most fabrics.

Can I use this for embroidery?

It can be used for basic decorative stitching, though dedicated embroidery thread may offer a higher sheen.

Troubleshooting

Thread snapping during machine use

Check that the needle size is between 70-90 and re-thread the machine to ensure correct tension.

Puckered fabric seams

Reduce the upper thread tension on your sewing machine and ensure the bobbin is wound evenly.

Stitches skipping

Replace the needle with a fresh size 70-90 universal needle, as a dull point often causes skip-stitching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to fraying and tangling
  • Suitable for a wide variety of fabric types and weights
  • Provides a clean, professional finish without puckering
  • Highly durable for both garments and home decor
  • Reliable performance in both hand and machine sewing

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial or thick upholstery work
  • Limited to 100-metre spools which may require frequent changes for large projects
  • Requires specific needle sizes for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, use a universal sewing machine needle in the size range of 70 to 90. This ensures the thread eye is appropriately sized to allow for free movement without friction. When threading your machine, ensure the spool is placed on the spool pin in the direction that allows it to unwind freely without catching on the spool cap. For storage, keep the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation over long periods. If your thread becomes dusty, simply wipe the exterior of the spool with a clean, dry cloth before loading it onto the machine.
