A brown for more fabrics

Choose your brown by Gütermann number
Select one shade on the product page. The three-digit number is the most reliable reference when matching an existing spool or ordering the same colour again.
Colour guidance: use the genuine spool photographs above as your visual guide, then confirm the three-digit shade number before ordering. Thread can still appear different under warm indoor lighting, daylight and different screens.
Needle and colour guidance
A simple setup for confident everyday sewing
Gütermann recommends a Universal Needle in size NM 70 to 90 for Sew-all Thread. Select the exact needle type and size for your fabric, then sew a sample through the same layers as your project.
Blend the seamFor less visible stitching, compare nearby browns, then choose the shade that visually settles into the fabric.
Show the stitchFor visible topstitching, move lighter or darker than the fabric to create a deliberate contrast.
Reorder confidentlyKeep the spool or record its three-digit code so the same shade is easy to identify next time.
- Fit a fresh needle suited to the fabric.
- Thread the machine with the presser foot raised.
- Wind the bobbin evenly and insert it in the correct direction.
- Test stitch quality on a project offcut before sewing the final seam.
- Judge close colour matches beside the actual fabric in good natural light.

Gütermann Sew-all Thread 100m FAQs
What is Gütermann Sew-all Thread used for?
It is a universal polyester thread for general machine and hand sewing, including garment construction, repairs, closing seams, topstitch seams and decorative stitches.
How much thread do I receive?
You receive one 100m spool in the shade number selected on the product page.
Which sewing-machine needle should I use?
Gütermann recommends a Universal Needle in size NM 70 to 90. Choose the exact needle point and size for your fabric and test before sewing the project.
Can I use it in the bobbin?
Yes. For regular sewing, Sew-all Thread can be used as both needle thread and bobbin thread when the machine is correctly threaded and the stitch is balanced.
Can I use it on stretch fabrics?
It can be used on many knit and stretch fabrics, but the seam must also be able to stretch. Select a suitable stretch stitch and use a ballpoint, jersey or stretch needle when the fabric requires one.
Why are the colours split into separate listings?
Grouping the large Sew-all range by colour family makes it faster to browse similar shades and easier to compare the colours most likely to suit your fabric.
How do I match an existing spool?
Use the three-digit Gütermann shade number printed on the spool. It is a more dependable reference than a colour viewed on a screen.
What if I am choosing between two similar browns?
Compare both in natural light against the actual fabric. A slightly deeper shade will often settle into a seam more quietly than one that is too light, but a test stitch is the best check.
