While Gutermann Sew All is strong and durable, for very heavy-duty applications like upholstery or canvas, a dedicated heavy-duty thread might offer superior performance. However, it can be used for lighter upholstery tasks or repairs.
This thread is primarily designed for general sewing. For detailed hand embroidery, specialized embroidery threads with different sheens and textures are usually recommended.
In this context, '373' is likely the shade number or color code for the purple colorway of the Gutermann Sew All thread.
Gutermann Sew All thread aims to combine the desirable sewing properties of silk (smoothness) with the strength and durability of polyester, offering a practical and resilient option.
Yes, the quality of the thread is consistent across all reel sizes. The difference lies in the range of available colors and the cost-effectiveness for larger projects.
As it is 100% polyester, this thread is very stable and resistant to shrinking when exposed to water or heat during the washing or ironing of finished garments.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric and thread. Check that the machine's tension is properly adjusted. Make sure the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool and isn't catching.
Verify that the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent or dull. Ensure the thread path is clear and the machine is clean. Check the machine's tension settings.
While designed to be lint-free, very high-speed sewing or a dull needle can sometimes create minor lint. Ensure your machine's bobbin area is clean. Consider using a higher quality needle.
Setup: This thread is ready to use straight from the reel. For machine sewing, ensure your machine is threaded correctly with the Gutermann Sew All thread. It is compatible with standard sewing machine needles. For hand sewing, simply cut the desired length from the reel.
Compatibility: This thread is suitable for all natural and synthetic fabrics. It performs well with cotton, linen, wool, silk, polyester, nylon, and blends.
Care: Store the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its strength and color integrity. Clean finished projects according to the fabric care instructions. The thread itself does not require specific cleaning.
