This extra-strong 100% polyester thread from Gütermann is designed for sewing heavily stressed seams on robust materials like denim, heavy woven fabrics, leather, and tarpaulins. Its key benefit is exceptional durability for demanding repair work and construction. A potential caveat is its specific application focus, making it less suitable for delicate fabrics.

This thread is ideal for heavy fabrics like denim, canvas, leather, and tarpaulins. It is also suitable for general upholstery work.
No, this thread is extra strong and best suited for heavy-duty applications. It may be too thick or coarse for delicate materials.
For best results, use a heavier needle size, such as a 90/14 or 100/16 denim or leather needle, depending on the fabric being sewn.
The spool contains 100 metres of thread.
The thread is made of 100% polyester.
This Gütermann thread is made in Germany.
Ensure you are using a needle appropriate for the fabric thickness and thread type. Check machine tension settings, as they might need to be adjusted for this strong thread. Slow down your sewing speed.
Verify the needle is correctly inserted and not bent or dull. Make sure the thread is properly seated in the tension discs and guides. Use a new, sharp needle.
Check for lint buildup in the bobbin case and feed dogs. Ensure the thread path is clear and free of snags. Re-thread the machine completely.
This thread is compatible with most standard sewing machines designed for heavier threads. Ensure your machine's needle is appropriate for denim or leather (e.g., a denim needle size 90/14 or higher) to prevent breakage. Thread your machine as usual, paying attention to the tension settings, which may require slight adjustment for thicker threads. No special setup is required beyond standard sewing machine operation. The thread itself requires no care beyond being stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its integrity.
