Full details

This Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread in Vellum (0169) is designed for sewers of all levels seeking a reliable thread for general-purpose sewing on any material. Its key benefit is its strength and durability, ensuring secure stitches with no fiber lint.

This thread is made in Germany from 100% polyester and offers excellent seam resistance.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Ensure the needle is sharp and correctly inserted, check that the thread is properly tensioned, and verify that the needle size is appropriate for the fabric and thread thickness. Ensure the thread path is clear of obstructions.

Excessive lint in sewing machine

Although this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine is clean and free from old lint. Regularly clean the feed dogs and bobbin area. A slightly lower tension setting might also help.

Stitches are loose or uneven

Adjust the thread tension on your sewing machine. Ensure the upper thread and bobbin thread are balanced. Check that the needle is not dull or bent.
