FAQs

What is the best needle size to use with this thread?

For best results, a needle size between 70 and 90 is recommended, depending on the fabric you are sewing.

Can this thread be used for embroidery?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is strong and durable, making it suitable for general embroidery projects, though specialized embroidery threads may offer a higher sheen or specific texture.

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

While strong and durable, for highly weather-exposed outdoor applications, you might consider specialized UV-resistant or outdoor-specific threads. However, for general outdoor sewing, this thread offers good performance.

What does 'no fibre lint' mean?

'No fibre lint' means the thread is manufactured to minimize shedding loose fibers during the sewing process, leading to cleaner stitches and a cleaner sewing environment.

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

Yes, the quality of the 100% polyester thread is consistent across all reel sizes. The difference lies in the color selection available for larger reels and the cost-effectiveness for high-volume projects.

Can this thread be used for sergers/overlock machines?

Yes, this thread is suitable for serger and overlock machines, providing strong and durable seams for a variety of projects.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during machine sewing

Ensure the needle size (70-90) is appropriate for the fabric. Check that the machine is threaded correctly, and the tension is properly adjusted. A dull or damaged needle can also cause breakage; try a new needle.

Uneven stitches or puckering

Adjust the upper and lower tension settings on your sewing machine. Ensure the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool and that the correct needle size is being used. For some fabrics, a longer stitch length might be beneficial.

Excessive lint in sewing machine

Although this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine's feed dogs and bobbin area are clean. Check that the needle is inserted correctly and is not causing excessive friction with the thread or fabric.
