Gutermann Sew All thread combines the excellent sewing properties of silk with the superior strength and durability of polyester in the seam.

Troubleshooting

Thread tangling or knotting during machine sewing

Ensure the sewing machine is correctly threaded, the upper thread tension is properly adjusted, and the bobbin is wound evenly. Check that the needle is sharp and correctly inserted. Sometimes, a lower stitch speed can help.

Skipped stitches

Check the needle; it may be bent, blunt, or the wrong type for the fabric. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and fully. Adjust upper or lower tension if necessary.

Thread breaking frequently

Verify the needle is not too dull or the wrong size for the thread and fabric. Check for burrs or rough spots on the sewing machine's needle plate or tension discs. Ensure the thread is not snagged on the spool.

Lint build-up in the machine

Although this thread produces minimal lint, regular cleaning of your sewing machine's feed dogs, bobbin case, and tension discs is recommended to prevent any buildup.
