Product Information
Full details
This Gutermann Sew All Thread Recycled (MPN: 909) is designed for sewists seeking a sustainable yet high-performance thread. Its key benefit is being made from 100% recycled polyester, offering excellent tear resistance and consistent thickness. A potential consideration is the recommendation for a universal needle size, which may require testing on very fine or heavy fabrics for optimal results. This thread is suitable for all fabric types and seams, whether for hand or machine sewing, and is ideal for functional and decorative stitching.

FAQs
What makes this thread 'recycled'?
This thread is made from 100% recycled polyester, meaning it is manufactured from post-consumer waste materials, reducing the need for virgin polyester production.
Can I use this thread for all my sewing projects?

What kind of needle should I use?
Gutermann recommends using a universal needle in size 80-90 for best results with this thread.
Is this thread suitable for very fine fabrics like silk?
While suitable for many fabrics, for very fine materials like silk, you may need to test with a finer needle (e.g., size 70 or 75) and potentially adjust tension for optimal stitch quality.
How durable is this thread?
The thread is described as tear-resistant and colorfast, making it suitable for durable seams that will withstand regular use and washing.
Can I use this thread for decorative stitching?
Yes, it is suitable for ornamental and decorative seams due to its even thickness and colorfast properties.
Where is this thread manufactured?

Troubleshooting
Thread keeps breaking
Ensure you are using the recommended universal needle size (80-90). Check that the needle is not bent or dull. Verify the thread is properly threaded through the machine and that the tension is correctly set.
Skipped stitches
Confirm the correct needle size is in use. Make sure the needle is inserted correctly and is not damaged. Adjust upper tension if necessary.
Thread tangles or nests on the underside of fabric
Check upper thread tension; it might be too loose. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly. Make sure the presser foot is down when sewing.
Uneven stitch appearance
Verify thread path is clear and no lint is caught in the tension discs. Ensure both upper and lower threads are functioning correctly. Use a universal needle appropriate for the fabric.
