Product Information
Full details
The Gutermann Sew All Thread is an essential choice for both hobbyist sewists and professionals looking for a reliable, all-purpose solution for diverse fabrics. Its primary benefit lies in its high-quality construction which prevents lint buildup and seam crimping, ensuring a smooth finish on garments and home decor; however, users should note that at 1000m, this large reel is best suited for those who frequently use this specific color rather than occasional menders who may prefer smaller spools.

FAQs
Is this thread suitable for silk fabric?
Yes, Gutermann Sew All is versatile enough to be used on silk and other delicate fabrics due to its smooth finish.
Can this be used in an overlocker or serger?
Yes, it is highly recommended for overlockers because it is lint-free and strong.
Does this thread shrink after washing?
No, as a 100% polyester thread, it is highly resistant to shrinkage.
What needle size works best with this thread?
Universal needles between sizes 70/10 and 90/14 are generally recommended depending on the fabric weight.
Is the color 158 consistent across different Gutermann products?
Gutermann maintains high quality control, but always test the color against your fabric under natural light before starting.
Troubleshooting
Thread snapping during machine sewing
Check if the needle is dull or the wrong size for the fabric; ensure the thread path is clear of obstructions.
Uneven stitch tension
Re-thread both the top thread and the bobbin; clean the bobbin case of any dust or stray fibers.
Needle thread keeps looping on the bottom
Increase the top tension setting and ensure the presser foot is down while sewing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, durable 100% polyester material
- Consistent, knot-free winding for machine reliability
- No lint buildup during intensive sewing sessions
- Excellent colorfast properties for long-term project longevity
Cons
- 1000m spool size may be bulky for compact storage
- Less economical for one-off small repair jobs
- Specific shade matching required for precise color coordination
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, place the 1000m reel on your machine's vertical spool pin if possible, or use a horizontal thread stand to prevent the large spool from wobbling. When setting your machine, ensure that your tension settings are adjusted according to your fabric weight; the thread is generally forgiving and works well with standard universal needles.
Store the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy and fiber integrity over time. Avoid exposing the thread to extreme heat or chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic polyester fibers.
