Troubleshooting
Thread snapping during machine sewing
Check that the needle size is appropriate for the fabric and ensure the machine tension is not set too high.
Stitches looping on the underside of fabric
Re-thread the machine completely, ensuring the thread is fully seated in the tension discs and the presser foot is up during threading.
Puckering in fine fabric
Use a smaller needle size, check that your bobbin is wound evenly, and reduce your stitch length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure your sewing machine tension is set to a neutral position when switching to Gutermann Sew All. It is compatible with standard universal needles in sizes 70 to 90. When storing your thread, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading or degradation of the polyester fibres. If working with delicate fabrics like silk, reduce the machine tension slightly to prevent puckering.
