Product Information

Full details

The Gutermann Sew All Polyester Sewing Thread is an essential tool for both novice sewists and experienced tailors looking for a reliable, all-purpose thread that performs consistently across various fabric types. Its key benefit lies in its high-strength, lint-free composition which prevents common sewing frustrations like fraying or puckering; however, users should be mindful that it is primarily optimized for standard home sewing machines and hand-stitching rather than heavy-duty industrial upholstery.

Will this thread fade over time?

Can I use this for embroidery?

Troubleshooting

Thread snapping frequently during use

Check that the needle size is appropriate for the fabric and ensure your thread path is free of tangles.

Uneven or loopy stitches

Re-thread both the top machine and the bobbin, and double-check that your top tension dial is set correctly.

Fabric bunching under the needle

Adjust the stitch length and tension settings; check the needle to ensure it is not blunt or damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Gutermann Sew All thread, always match your needle to your fabric weight. The manufacturer recommends using a needle size between 70 and 90 for general use with this thread. When setting up your machine, ensure the spool is placed on the horizontal or vertical pin correctly so that it unwinds without extra drag. Store your thread away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain the integrity of the polyester filaments. If you are switching between thread colors, always re-thread the needle and bobbin completely to maintain proper tension settings for the new thread path.
