The key benefit is its strength, durability, and suitability for both hand and machine sewing across all fabric types.

FAQs

What is the best needle size to use with this thread?

The recommended needle size for Gutermann Sew All thread is between 70 and 90.

Can this thread be used for invisible hems?

Yes, this thread is suitable for all types of sewing, including invisible hems. Its strength and fine finish ensure durable and discreet stitches.

Is this thread suitable for outdoor fabrics?

While strong and durable, for highly demanding outdoor applications that require UV resistance or waterproofing, specialized outdoor threads might be more appropriate. However, for general outdoor items, it can perform well.

What does '50% seam resistance reserve' mean?

It means the thread is significantly stronger than the forces typically exerted on a seam, providing extra security and durability to prevent seams from breaking under stress.

How do I choose between small and large spools?

Smaller spools (like 100m) offer a wider color selection for projects requiring specific shades. Larger spools (250m, 500m, 1000m) are more economical for frequent use of core colors or large projects.

Can I use this thread to sew swimwear or activewear?

Yes, its strength and elasticity (due to polyester) make it suitable for sewing swimwear and activewear, providing durable and flexible seams.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during machine sewing

Check that the needle is the correct size (70-90) and is sharp and inserted correctly. Ensure thread is properly threaded through the machine and tension is appropriately set. Clean lint from the machine's bobbin case and tension discs.

Uneven or puckered seams

Verify the machine tension settings. Try adjusting the upper tension and bobbin tension. Ensure you are using the recommended needle size for your fabric and thread combination.

Excessive lint in sewing machine

Although this thread produces no fiber lint, general machine maintenance is still recommended. Clean your machine's feed dogs and bobbin area regularly as per your sewing machine's manual.
