Needle and machine guidance
A simple setup for confident everyday sewing
Gütermann recommends a Universal Needle in size NM 70 to 90 for Sew-all Thread. Choose the exact needle size and point to suit the fabric, then test the complete seam before beginning.
Fine fabricsBegin at the smaller end of the recommended needle range and test for a clean puncture.
Medium fabricsAn NM 80 universal needle is a useful starting point for many woven garment projects.
Heavier fabricsMove towards NM 90 where appropriate, while matching the needle point to the material.
- Fit a fresh needle suited to both the fabric and thread.
- Thread the machine with the presser foot raised so the thread seats correctly.
- Wind the bobbin evenly and confirm it is inserted in the correct direction.
- Sew a sample through the actual project layers and check both sides.
- Adjust tension only if the test seam shows it is necessary.

The best choice depends on whether you want everyday versatility, extra seam strength or a deliberately bold decorative line.

Gütermann Sew-all 500m FAQs
What is Gütermann Sew-all Thread used for?
It is a universal polyester sewing thread for general machine and hand sewing, including garment construction, repairs, closing seams, topstitch seams and fine decorative stitches.
How much thread is on each spool?
Each selected colour is supplied as one 500m spool, which is approximately 547 yards.
What thread thickness is it?
Gütermann specifies Sew-all as No. 100. It is a standard everyday sewing thread, not a heavy topstitching or bonded industrial thread.
Which sewing-machine needle should I use?
Gütermann recommends a Universal Needle in size NM 70 to 90. Select the exact size and point for your fabric and test before sewing the project.
Can I use it in the bobbin?
Yes. For regular sewing, Sew-all can be used as both needle thread and bobbin thread when the machine is correctly threaded and the stitch is balanced.
Is it suitable for stretch fabrics?
The thread can be used on many stretch and knit fabrics, but the seam must also be able to stretch. Choose a suitable stretch stitch and a ballpoint, jersey or stretch needle when the fabric requires one.
Is this the recycled rPET version?
No. This listing is for the regular 100% polyester Gütermann Sew-all Thread. It should not be confused with the separate Sew-all rPET range.
How should I choose a colour online?
Use the three-digit Gütermann colour number as your main reference because screens, photography and surrounding fabrics can alter how a shade appears.
