Product Information

Full details

This Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread in Fog Grey is designed for sewers of all levels seeking a reliable, high-quality thread for diverse projects. Its key benefit is its versatility, suitable for both hand and machine sewing across most fabrics, offering exceptional durability and tear resistance for secure stitches. A potential caveat is that the 250-meter reel, while convenient for smaller tasks, might require purchasing multiple reels for very large projects compared to larger spool options.

FAQs

Is this thread suitable for quilting?

Yes, Gutermann Sew All thread is strong and durable, making it suitable for quilting and other projects where seam strength is important. For very fine, detailed quilting stitches, you might consider specialized quilting threads, but this is a reliable all-around choice.

Can I use this thread for upholstery?

Yes, due to its high tear resistance and durability, this thread is suitable for many general upholstery projects and repairs.

What is the difference between the 250m and larger reels?

The 250-meter reels offer convenience for smaller projects or for collecting a wider range of colors. The larger reels (500m, 1000m) offer better value for money for those undertaking extensive projects or requiring large quantities of a specific color.

Is this thread suitable for sewing swimwear or activewear?

While suitable for many synthetic fabrics, for swimwear or high-stretch activewear, you might consider a specific stretch or polyester thread designed for maximum elasticity to ensure seams move with the fabric.

How do I store this thread to ensure longevity?

Store the thread in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping it on its spool and perhaps in a box or drawer will protect it from dust and damage.

What does 'no fibre lint' mean for my sewing?

'No fibre lint' means the thread produces very little or no loose fibers when cut or sewn. This results in a cleaner sewing environment and prevents lint buildup within your sewing machine.

Can this thread be used for embroidery?

While it can be used for basic decorative stitching, it is not specifically designed for embroidery. For detailed embroidery, specialized embroidery threads (like rayon or metallic) would provide a better finish.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during machine sewing

Check machine needle for sharpness and correct type. Ensure correct thread tension is set. Clean lint from machine components. Use a fresh needle.

Skipped stitches

Verify the needle is inserted correctly and is the appropriate type for the fabric. Ensure the thread is correctly seated in the machine's tension discs.

Lint buildup in the sewing machine

Clean your sewing machine regularly, especially the bobbin area and feed dogs. This thread produces minimal lint, but machine maintenance is still important.

Uneven stitching

Adjust the upper thread tension. Ensure the fabric is feeding evenly through the machine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for all materials and sewing types (hand/machine).
  • Excellent tear resistance for strong, secure seams.
  • No lint production for a cleaner sewing experience.
  • High-quality, durable German manufacturing.
  • Available in a wide range of colors.

Cons

  • 250-meter reels may be insufficient for very large projects.
  • Larger reels, while more economical for volume, come in a smaller color selection.
  • As a general-purpose thread, it may not be the optimal choice for highly specialized applications requiring unique thread properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Thread the Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread into your sewing machine or prepare it for hand sewing as you would any standard sewing thread. Ensure your machine's tension is correctly set for polyester thread.

Compatibility: This thread is suitable for use with all standard domestic and industrial sewing machines. It is designed to work with a vast range of fabrics, including cotton, linen, synthetics, blends, and many natural fibers.

Care: Store thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation. After sewing, clean any stray threads from your machine. The thread itself is colorfast and durable, meaning items sewn with it can be washed and ironed according to the fabric care instructions.
