FAQs
What makes this thread have a 'brilliant shine'?
The thread features a 'trilobal' structure, meaning it has three lobes or sides. This unique shape reflects light more effectively than traditional round threads, resulting in a significantly brighter and more lustrous appearance.
What needle size should I use with this thread?
For optimal results, Gutermann recommends using an embroidery needle in the size range of 70 to 90.
Can I use this thread on all types of fabric?
Yes, this thread is suitable for use on all materials and fabrics, from delicate silks to heavier denims and canvas.
How should I care for items embroidered with this thread?
Embroidered items can be washed at temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. It is advisable to iron on the reverse side at a temperature appropriate for the base fabric.
Is this thread suitable for hand embroidery?
While designed for machine embroidery, its durability and quality may also make it suitable for hand embroidery, though the trilobal structure is primarily intended for machine use.
What is the main benefit of the tear-resistant feature?
The tear-resistant quality ensures that the thread withstands the stresses of the embroidery process and the wear and tear of the finished product, leading to longer-lasting and more durable designs.
Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during embroidery
Ensure you are using the correct needle size (70-90). Check that the machine is threaded properly and the tension is not too tight. Clean any lint or debris from the machine's thread path.
Skipped stitches
Verify the needle is sharp and correctly inserted. Confirm the thread is suitable for machine embroidery and not tangled. Adjust machine tension if necessary.
Uneven or dull stitching
Confirm you are using the recommended needle size. Ensure the thread is running smoothly from the spool. Check machine settings for stitch density and type.
