Product Information

Full details

Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread is designed for sewers of all levels looking for a reliable, all-purpose thread. Its primary benefit is its versatility, suitable for both hand and machine sewing across all materials with minimal lint production. A potential consideration is that larger reel sizes come in a more limited color range compared to the 100-meter options. This thread is strong, tear-resistant, and offers excellent stitch security, making it ideal for general sewing projects.

FAQs

Is this thread suitable for heavy-duty fabrics like canvas or upholstery?

While Gutermann Sew All thread is strong and tear-resistant, for extremely heavy-duty applications like thick canvas or upholstery, a dedicated heavy-duty thread might provide even greater strength and durability.

Can I use this thread for machine embroidery?

Gutermann Sew All thread is primarily designed for general construction stitches. For machine embroidery, specialized embroidery threads are recommended to achieve the best results in terms of sheen and stitch definition.

What is the best way to store the thread?

Store the thread spools in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their color and integrity. Keeping them in a thread box or drawer is ideal.

Does the color fade over time?

Gutermann threads are known for their colorfastness. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over extended periods. Standard washing and drying of finished items should not significantly affect the color.

What does '250 Metres' refer to?

The '250 Metres' indicates the length of thread wound onto that particular spool. This is a larger spool size, offering better value for extensive sewing projects.

Is this thread suitable for children's clothing?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is an excellent choice for children's clothing due to its strength, durability, and lint-free properties, ensuring safe and comfortable garments.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Check for burrs on the sewing machine needle or needle plate. Ensure the needle is sharp and correctly inserted. Adjust machine tension or slow down sewing speed.

Excessive lint or fuzz

While this thread is designed to be lint-free, ensure your machine's bobbin area is clean. Check that the thread is feeding correctly through the tension guides.

Stitches appearing uneven or loose

Re-thread the sewing machine, ensuring the thread is properly seated in all tension discs. Check and adjust the upper and lower thread tension settings according to your machine's manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
