FAQs

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

While strong and durable, this thread is not specifically designed for extreme outdoor exposure. For best results with outdoor fabrics, consider a UV-resistant or specialized outdoor thread.

What is the best needle size to use with this thread?

The recommended needle size for Gutermann Sew All Thread is between 70 and 90.

Can I use this thread for quilting?

Yes, this thread is excellent for quilting due to its strength and low lint, ensuring durable and clean stitches.

How does the lint-free feature benefit my sewing?

The lint-free quality prevents fiber buildup within your sewing machine's mechanisms, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and ensuring smoother operation and cleaner finished seams.

Are the larger 250m, 500m, and 1000m reels available in all colors?

No, the larger reels come in a smaller, curated range of colors. The 100-meter reels offer the widest color selection.

Is this thread suitable for sewing with silk or very fine fabrics?

For very fine fabrics like silk, it's recommended to use the smallest needle size (70) and test the thread on a fabric scrap first to ensure it doesn't snag or damage the material.

What does '50% seam resistance reserve' mean?

This means the seam created with the thread is strong enough to withstand a load more than 50% greater than what would typically cause the seam to fail, indicating high seam security and durability.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Check needle size (ensure it's within 70-90 range for this thread) and sharpness. Ensure the machine is correctly threaded and the tension is properly set. Avoid excessive speed.

Skipped stitches

Verify correct needle size and type for your fabric. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent. Clean the machine's feed dogs and bobbin area.

Thread tangling or bunching

Adjust upper thread tension. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly. Check that the presser foot is engaged properly.

Excessive lint

Although this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine is clean. A dull or incorrect needle can also create excess lint. Check machine tension.
