FAQs

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics or heavy-duty applications?

While Gutermann Sew All is strong and durable for general use, for extremely heavy-duty applications like upholstery, canvas, or outdoor gear, a specialized heavy-duty thread might offer superior strength and weather resistance.

What is the difference between the 100-meter reels and the larger reels?

The 100-meter reels are available in a much wider variety of colors, ideal for projects requiring specific shades. The larger reels (250, 500, 1000 meters) come in a smaller range of core colors but offer better value for money if you use a lot of thread for larger projects.

Can I use this thread for quilting?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is suitable for quilting, especially for piecing. For quilting stitches on the surface of a quilt, a specific quilting thread might be preferred for its texture and sheen, but this thread will perform reliably.

How should I store the thread to ensure its longevity?

Store your thread spools in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in a box or drawer can protect them from dust and prevent them from unwinding.

Is this thread colorfast?

Gutermann threads are known for their high colorfastness, meaning the colors are designed to resist fading from washing and light exposure, ensuring your projects maintain their appearance over time.

What makes this thread 'Sew All'?

'Sew All' signifies its universal application. It's formulated to be suitable for nearly all fabrics and sewing applications, whether by hand or machine, providing reliable results across the board.

Troubleshooting

Thread tangling or breaking during machine sewing

Check that the thread is correctly seated in the machine's tension discs. Ensure the needle is sharp and appropriate for the fabric type. Verify the upper thread and bobbin are wound correctly and that there are no obstructions in the feed dogs or bobbin case.

Skipped stitches

Ensure the sewing machine needle is new, correctly inserted (bevel facing the correct direction as per your machine manual), and of the appropriate size for the thread and fabric. Clean lint from the feed dogs and bobbin area.

Lint buildup in sewing machine

While this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine is regularly cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions. This is crucial for overall machine health and stitch quality.
