Gutermann Sewing Thread - 800 Metres

Gutermann Natural Cotton thread is ideal for natural fibers like cotton, linen, and silk, but it is also versatile enough for use with synthetic fabrics and blends.

Yes, this thread is excellent for hand sewing due to its strength, smooth texture, and durability.

Extendible means the thread has a slight elasticity or stretch, which can help seams accommodate movement without breaking, particularly useful in garments or quilting.

The 100-meter reels are available in a wider range of colors compared to the larger 250, 400, and 800-meter reels, which come in a more limited selection.

While very durable, for extremely heavy-duty applications like outdoor gear or upholstery, a dedicated heavy-duty thread might be more appropriate. However, it is excellent for general sewing, quilting, and patchwork.

Items sewn with Gutermann Natural Cotton thread can be machine washed up to 60°C (130°F).

Check for a sharp edge on your needle or machine. Ensure the thread path is clear of snags. Adjust sewing machine tension or try a different needle size. Slow down your sewing speed.

Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent. Use the appropriate needle size for your fabric and thread. Check that your machine is properly threaded.

While this thread is colorfast, always follow recommended washing temperatures. Pre-wash fabric items separately if concerned about dye transfer from the fabric itself.
