Product Information

Full details

This Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread is ideal for crafters and home sewers seeking a reliable, all-purpose thread. Its key benefit is its versatility, suitable for both hand and machine sewing across all fabric types, offering excellent seam security and durability. A potential consideration is that larger reel sizes, while more economical, come in a more limited color range compared to the 100-meter spools. This thread combines the smooth finish of silk with the strength of polyester, ensuring high-quality stitches with no lint.

FAQs

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

Yes, the 100% polyester construction provides good durability and resistance to wear, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. For extreme weather exposure, consider specialized outdoor threads.

Can I use this thread for embroidery?

While it can be used for basic embroidery, it is primarily designed for general sewing. For detailed or decorative embroidery, specialized embroidery threads may offer better sheen and stitch definition.

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

The 100m reels are available in a very wide range of colors and are ideal for smaller projects or when a specific color match is needed. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) offer better value for larger projects but come in a more limited selection of basic colors.

Is this thread suitable for garment alterations?

Absolutely. Its strength, durability, and ability to blend well with most fabrics make it perfect for repairs and alterations.

Does this thread shrink?

No, polyester thread is known for its low shrinkage rate, ensuring your seams maintain their integrity after washing.

Can I use this thread with a serger/overlocker?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is suitable for use with sergers and overlockers for finishing seams and edges.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking frequently during machine sewing

Check that the needle is sharp, correctly inserted, and the appropriate size for your fabric and thread. Ensure the top tension is not too tight and that the thread path is free of obstructions. Verify the bobbin is wound evenly.

Skipped stitches

This can often be resolved by ensuring the correct needle type and size are used for the fabric. Clean the machine's feed dogs and check the thread path for any snags. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly.

Excessive lint during sewing

While this thread is designed to produce minimal lint, ensure your machine's bobbin area and feed dogs are clean. A dull needle can also create more lint; try a fresh needle.
