FAQs

Is this thread suitable for quilting?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is suitable for quilting, especially for piecing. For quilting stitches on the surface, a specialized quilting thread might offer a slightly different sheen or loft, but this thread provides excellent strength and durability for the seams.

Can I use this thread for sergers/overlock machines?

While Gutermann Sew All is a strong general-purpose thread, serger machines typically use cones of thread designed for their specific multi-thread systems. For best results on a serger, consider Gutermann's Overlock thread, which is specifically formulated for these machines.

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

The 100-meter reels offer a very extensive range of colors for smaller projects or precise color matching. The larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) offer better value for money for high-volume sewing or common colors but come in a more limited selection.

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

For general outdoor projects, this thread will provide good durability. However, for applications requiring extreme UV resistance or waterproofing, specialized outdoor or UV-resistant threads might be a better choice.

How strong is this polyester thread?

It is a strong and tear-resistant thread, offering over 50% seam strength reserve. This makes it highly reliable for everyday sewing and garment construction.

Can I use this thread on a hand-crank sewing machine?

Yes, this thread is suitable for both hand and machine sewing, so it will work perfectly with a hand-crank machine.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Check for burrs or damage on the sewing machine needle, ensure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine's tension discs, and verify that the needle size is appropriate for the fabric and thread thickness. Try a new needle.

Skipped stitches

Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent. Make sure you are using the correct needle type and size for your fabric. Check that the thread is properly seated in the tension discs.

Excessive lint

While this thread is designed to be lint-free, ensure your sewing machine's feed dogs and bobbin area are clean. Check that the thread is not snagging on anything within the machine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and long-lasting.
  • Shrink-free and iron-proof.
  • Produces no lint, maintaining a clean sewing environment.
  • Excellent tear resistance for secure seams.
  • Versatile for all types of fabrics and sewing methods.
  • Available in a wide array of colors.

Cons

  • Larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) have a more limited color selection compared to 100m spools.
  • While strong, it may not be the best choice for extremely heavy-duty applications requiring specialized threads (e.g., heavy canvas or leather without a specific needle).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This thread requires no special setup beyond winding it onto your sewing machine's bobbin or threading it through your machine's tension discs and needle. Ensure your sewing machine needle is appropriate for the fabric you are using (e.g., a universal needle is often suitable).

Compatibility:

  • Machines: Compatible with all standard domestic and industrial sewing machines.
  • Fabrics: Suitable for all common fabric types, from delicate silks and cottons to medium-weight synthetics and blends.
  • Needles: Use a sharp universal needle (size 70-90 depending on fabric weight) for best results.

Care:

  • Storage: Store thread spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain color integrity and prevent degradation.
  • Washing: The thread is shrink-free and iron-proof, meaning items sewn with it can be washed and ironed according to fabric care instructions without concern for the thread itself.
