Gutermann Sew-All Thread - 250M - 473

Gutermann Sew-All thread is a versatile polyester thread, making it suitable for many general applications. For demanding outdoor applications that require UV resistance and extreme waterproofing, specialized outdoor threads might be a better choice.

While this thread is strong and durable, it's primarily designed for general sewing seams. For decorative embroidery, threads specifically formulated for embroidery (often with a higher sheen or different twist) are recommended to achieve the best results.

Each spool contains 250 meters (approximately 274 yards) of thread.

The thread itself does not require cleaning. Store spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For items sewn with the thread, follow the care instructions for the fabric.

The recommended needle size for Gutermann Sew-All thread is 70-90.

For non-stick fabrics like vinyl or leather, it's recommended to use a suitable leather needle and ensure your machine is set up appropriately. While this thread is strong, a specific bonded polyester thread might offer enhanced durability for these materials.

'Sew All' indicates that this thread is designed for universal use across all types of fabrics and seams, making it a go-to option for most everyday sewing projects.

Ensure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine, check upper and lower tension settings, and verify that the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly. A dull or bent needle can also cause issues; replace it with a new, sharp needle of the appropriate size.

Check for burrs or rough spots on the sewing machine's needle plate or tension discs. Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric and thread. Avoid pulling the fabric forcefully as you sew; let the machine feed it. The thread itself is strong, so breakage often indicates a machine issue.

Adjust the upper tension on your sewing machine to a lower setting. Ensure your machine's stitch length is appropriate for the fabric type. Using a finer needle can also help prevent puckering on delicate fabrics.

While this thread is designed for minimal lint, ensure your sewing machine's feed dogs and the area around the needle plate are clean. Regular machine maintenance, including cleaning out lint, will help maintain a lint-free sewing environment.
