FAQs

Is this thread suitable for heavy-duty fabrics like upholstery?

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.

Can I use this thread for hand embroidery?

This thread is primarily designed for general sewing. For detailed hand embroidery, specialized embroidery threads with different sheens and textures are usually recommended.

What does '373' refer to?

In this context, '373' is likely the shade number or color code for the purple colorway of the Gutermann Sew All thread.

How does this thread compare to silk 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.

Are the larger reels (250m, 500m, 1000m) the same quality as the 100m reels?

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.

Will this thread shrink?

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.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaks during machine sewing

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.

Skipped stitches

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.

Excessive lint in work area

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for all fabrics and sewing methods (hand/machine).
  • High tear resistance ensures durable and secure seams.
  • Lint-free production keeps work area clean.
  • Combines strength and a smooth finish.
  • Reliable knot-free performance.

Cons

  • Larger reel sizes (250m, 500m, 1000m) have a more limited color range.
  • While durable, it may not be the specialized choice for extreme heavy-duty applications like sailmaking.
  • The specific shade (purple) might not match every project's exact color requirement without other options in that specific reel size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
