No 30 refers to the thickness of the thread. It is a heavier-weight thread compared to standard sewing thread, making it perfect for visible embroidery and quilting.
While it is technically a cotton thread, its primary design is for decorative work. For structural seams in garments, a standard weight thread is usually recommended.
Gutermann threads are known for their high quality, but it is always recommended to test for colorfastness if you intend to wash the finished item in hot water.
Yes, it is compatible with most standard home sewing and embroidery machines, provided you use the correct needle and tension settings.
Each spool contains 300 meters of thread.
Check that the needle size is appropriate (90/14 recommended) and reduce the machine speed to prevent heat buildup.
Re-thread the machine completely and check the top thread tension; you may need to loosen the tension slightly for the heavier No 30 weight.
Ensure your machine is clean and free of old thread debris; consider using a thread net if the thread is unraveling too quickly from the spool.
To ensure the best results, use a high-quality needle suited for heavy-weight cotton threads, such as a Topstitch needle or a size 90/14 embroidery needle. Always test your tension on a scrap piece of fabric before starting your final project, as the matte finish and weight of the Sulky cotton may react differently than standard sewing thread. When storing, keep the thread away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the cotton fibers, and store in a cool, dry place to maintain the strength of the thread over time.
