FAQs

Can I use this thread for heavy-duty outdoor upholstery?

While Gutermann Sew All is durable, for heavy-duty outdoor upholstery, we recommend a specialized outdoor or UV-resistant thread.

Is this thread suitable for sergers?

Yes, it performs well in sergers, though you may prefer larger cones for high-volume serging projects.

Will this thread shrink in hot water?

No, it is specifically designed to be shrink-resistant and retains its length during washing.

Is this a cotton-wrapped polyester thread?

No, this is a 100 percent polyester thread engineered for maximum strength and consistency.

What does the 446 indicate?

The 446 refers to the specific color code within the Gutermann range.

Can I use this for embroidery?

It is a construction thread rather than an embroidery thread, but it can be used for general stitching around embroidery designs.

Troubleshooting

Thread snapping during machine sewing

Check your needle size; if you are using a needle smaller than 70, it may be too thin for the thread, causing friction and breakage.

Stitches are bunching or puckering

Ensure your machine tension is adjusted correctly for the fabric weight and that the bobbin is wound evenly.

Skipped stitches

Verify that the needle is inserted correctly and that it is not dull; a blunt needle tip will cause skips regardless of thread quality.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength polyester prevents snapping
  • Shrink-resistant in wash cycles
  • Fade-resistant colors stay vibrant
  • Consistently smooth, knot-free texture
  • Works well for both hand and machine sewing

Cons

  • Limited to 100m per spool for high-volume production
  • Requires specific needle gauge range for optimal results
  • Polyester may not be suitable for specialized projects requiring natural fiber threads

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with this thread, always pair it with universal sewing machine needles in the size range of 70 to 90. For delicate, lightweight fabrics like silk or chiffon, lean toward the 70 size; for heavier cottons or blends, the 90 size is appropriate.

Care Instructions

  • Store spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent long-term color degradation.
  • When washing garments sewn with this thread, standard machine settings are safe due to the thread's shrink-resistant nature.
  • Avoid using bleach on fabrics if the thread color is susceptible to chemical stripping, even if the thread itself is colourfast.
