Troubleshooting

Thread breakage during machine sewing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with Gutermann Sew All Thread, ensure you are using a sharp universal needle sized between 70 and 90. When threading your machine, maintain standard tension settings; the thread is designed to be forgiving, but minor adjustments may be necessary depending on your specific fabric thickness. Store your thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading or material degradation over extended periods. It is safe for all standard laundry cycles, including machine washing and ironing, provided the settings match the requirements of the fabric you are sewing.
