Product Information

Full details

The Gutermann Sew All Polyester Thread is designed for all general sewing needs, suitable for both hand and machine use. Its key benefit is its high tear resistance and optimal stitch security, ensuring durable seams. A potential caveat is that larger reel sizes, while more economical, come in a more limited color selection compared to the smaller reels. This thread is crafted from polyester, offering strength, durability, and lint-free results for a wide range of projects.

FAQs

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

While strong, this thread is best suited for general sewing. For highly demanding outdoor applications exposed to extreme weather, specialized outdoor threads might be more appropriate.

Can I use this thread for quilting?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All Polyester Thread is excellent for quilting. Its strength and smooth finish contribute to durable and attractive quilting stitches.

What does 'Sew All' mean?

'Sew All' indicates that this thread is designed for universal use across a wide range of fabrics and sewing techniques, both by hand and machine.

How much thread is on this spool?

This specific spool contains 250 meters of thread.

Is this thread suitable for very fine fabrics like silk?

For very fine fabrics, you might consider using a finer needle and potentially a thread specifically designed for delicate materials. However, this thread can be used with care on silks, especially with a smaller needle size.

What is the difference between the 250Mtr reels and smaller reels?

The 250Mtr reels offer better value per meter for larger projects and come in a smaller selection of core colors. Smaller reels are available in a much wider color range.

Is this thread washable?

Yes, this polyester thread is washable. However, always follow the care instructions of the fabric you have sewn.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Check for a dull or damaged needle. Ensure the thread is correctly seated in the tension discs. Reduce machine speed if sewing rapidly. Verify the thread is not snagged on the spool.

Skipped stitches

Ensure you are using the correct needle type and size for your fabric. Check that the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent. Verify machine tension settings.

Lint buildup in the machine

Although this thread is lint-free, lint can come from fabric. Clean your sewing machine's bobbin area and feed dogs regularly according to your machine's manual.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for all types of sewing projects and fabrics.
  • Excellent stitch security and tear resistance for long-lasting seams.
  • Clean sewing experience due to its lint-free properties.
  • Durable and strong, ensuring reliability in finished garments.
  • Economical for large projects when opting for larger spool sizes.

Cons

  • Larger spools (250Mtr+) have a more restricted color palette.
  • May not be the optimal choice for highly specialized sewing needs requiring specific thread properties (e.g., stretch, heavy-duty).
  • Polyester thread can sometimes be less forgiving with heat than natural fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply thread your sewing machine or needle with the Gutermann Sew All Polyester Thread. Ensure your machine is set to an appropriate stitch length and tension for your fabric type. For machine sewing, it's recommended to use a universal sewing machine needle (size 70-90 depending on fabric weight).

Compatibility: This thread is compatible with all standard domestic and industrial sewing machines. It is suitable for use with a wide variety of fabrics, including cotton, linen, synthetics, blends, and medium-weight wools.

Care: Keep the thread wound on its spool when not in use to prevent tangling and dust accumulation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The thread itself is colorfast and generally resistant to washing, but care should be taken based on the fabric being sewn.
