Cleaner reverse
Fine bobbin thread supports a tidier, more professional stitch pattern on the back of the design.
Gütermann Bobbin No. 150
Clean machine embroidery starts underneath
Gütermann Bobbin is an exceptionally fine 100% polyester underthread made for machine embroidery. Its smooth, uniform surface supports reliable feeding, tidy stitch formation and a clean-looking reverse while the fine No. 150 thickness lets more thread fit onto each machine bobbin.

- Fine but tear resistant: supports detailed designs and dependable stitching, even at higher embroidery speeds.
- Smooth unwinding: its even surface helps the thread feed consistently from a properly wound bobbin.
- Works across top-thread types: suitable with machine embroidery threads of different thicknesses and materials.

Why dedicated bobbin thread makes a difference
The back of an embroidery design matters too. A fine, consistent underthread helps keep the underside neat without adding unnecessary bulk, while giving your decorative top thread a dependable foundation.
More on each bobbin
The fine No. 150 thickness allows a greater thread supply on a correctly wound machine bobbin.
Smooth feeding
A uniform thread surface is designed to unwind evenly during machine embroidery.
Reliable at speed
Tear resistance helps support continuous embroidery, including work sewn at higher stitching speeds.
The quiet partner to your top thread
Let the embroidery colour take centre stage
Use White beneath light embroidery and Black beneath dark embroidery to reduce contrast on the reverse. The fine underthread keeps the focus on the visible design rather than adding thickness underneath it.
Machine embroidery
Made specifically as bobbin thread for machine-embroidered motifs and lettering.
Dense designs
The fine thread helps limit unnecessary bulk as closely spaced stitches build up.
Different top threads
Pair it with compatible machine embroidery threads across a range of thicknesses and materials.
Choose the underthread that suits your design
Select one colour on the product page. Use the four-digit Gütermann shade number when matching an existing spool or ordering the same option again.
WhiteShade 1001 | SKU 709832.1001
BlackShade 1005 | SKU 709832.1005
Choose White for light fabrics and pale top threads, or Black for dark fabrics and deeper colours. Always test because dense designs, stabiliser and top-thread coverage can affect the final reverse.
