FAQs

What is Gutermann Sew All thread made of?

It is made from 100% polyester, which provides strength, durability, and resistance to stretching and shrinking.

Can I use this thread for quilting?

Yes, while it's an all-purpose thread, its strength makes it suitable for quilting, especially for piecing. For quilting stitches, you might consider specialized quilting threads if a specific sheen or texture is desired.

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

Its strength and durability make it a good choice for many outdoor projects, such as repairing tarps or sewing outdoor cushions, though for extreme weather resistance, UV-treated threads might be considered.

How do I choose the right color?

Consider matching the thread color as closely as possible to your fabric for invisible seams. Alternatively, choose a contrasting color for decorative stitching or topstitching effects.

What is the difference between 100m reels and larger reels?

The 100-meter reels offer a significantly wider range of colors. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) provide better value for frequently used colors or large projects but have a more limited color selection.

Does the thread fade over time?

The high-quality polyester is colorfast, meaning it resists fading from washing and light exposure, ensuring the longevity of your projects' appearance.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Ensure you are using the recommended needle size (70-90). Check that the needle is not blunt or damaged. Verify the thread path on your machine is clear and the tension is correctly set.

Skipped stitches

Confirm the needle is inserted correctly and is the right type for your fabric. Clean your machine's feed dogs and bobbin case. Ensure the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool.

Excessive lint in sewing machine

Although this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine's bobbin area and feed dogs are clean. A dull needle can also create more lint.
