When you are starting a new sewing project it is important to choose your fabric carefully but it is equally important to select the correct thread. Having the right thread will ensure that your project maintains a high quality and has a more professional finish overall. One of the best quality and most reliable are Gutermann Threads and with there vast range, you are sure to find a thread that will be suitable for your project. The best selling Gutermann Threads at Calico Laine is the sew-all thread. This is made from polyester and can be used to sew all fabrics, hence the name of it! It comes in a huge range of colours with different size reels available to suit your needs. Gutermann Threads are guaranteed to not knot up, break or shred when they are used so you can be reassured that when you use them you will not have to keep stopping every two seconds to replace your thread, something that can be quite annoying in the middle of sewing! This is an excellent all rounder thread however if you are wanting to sew with 100% cotton and would like a thread specifically for this, the Gutermann all cotton thread is the perfect choice. This has a slightly reduced colour selection compared to the sew all thread but still plenty to choose from. If you are looking at sewing on buttons or doing some sewing that needs an extra strong thread, the top stitch is a great thread to sew with. This cannot be broken by hand and is the ideal thread when you are sewing heavier weight fabrics such as denim or doing repairs on upholstery. The top stitch thread is only available in smaller reels of 30 metres however Gutermann Threads have recently introduced a larger reel of furnishing thread which is a similar weight and this comes on a reel size of 100 metres. Here at Calico Laine, we often get customers who are doing quilting and patchwork. These projects can be time consuming and you would not want to ruin this by using a poor quality thread. Gutermann Threads offer both hand quilting and machine quilting threads depending on your preference and these will make sure the quality of your quilting is the best possible. These threads come on reels of 400 metres so there is no need to worry about running out quickly!
