Gutermann Sewing Thread - 7325

This thread is specifically designed for hand quilting due to its waxy coating and fine nature. While it might work in some machines, it is not optimized for high-speed machine quilting and may cause tension issues or excessive lint.

The waxy coating helps the thread glide smoothly through fabric layers, prevents it from curling or twisting during the quilting process, and adds a degree of strength and durability.

The fine diameter allows for precise stitching and detailed patterns without adding significant bulk to the quilt. It creates a clean, sharp line for intricate designs.

While it is 100% cotton, the waxy coating may affect dye absorption. It's recommended to test dye methods on a sample if you plan to dye the thread.

Each reel contains 200 meters of Gutermann Hand Quilting thread.

A sharp, fine hand quilting needle is recommended to easily pass through the thread and fabric layers.

Store the thread in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its color and integrity.

Ensure you are using a suitable needle length and not pulling the thread too tightly through the fabric. Try a slightly shorter length of thread to reduce the chance of twisting.

Check for sharp edges on your needle or thimble. Ensure the thread path is smooth and free from snags. Consider using a slightly larger needle if the fabric layers are very dense.

Select a thread color that complements your fabric. For detailed work, the fine nature of this thread should result in a clean, unobtrusive stitch line.
