At Calico Laine, we are known for providing high quality haberdashery and fabric to our customers and we like to sell well known brands so that customers can be assured of the quality. In our haberdashery section we stock a large amount of thread with our biggest supplier being Gutermann Threads. Gutermann are a German based company and in our experience, items from Germany tend to be of superior quality and fashion forward. They are a leader in the haberdashery field and have been creating sewing threads for many years. Here is a quick run down of some of their most popular ranges: Gutermann Sew-all Thread - One of the most popular Gutermann Threads on the market is the sew-all thread which is a polyester based thread and a very useful thread as it can be used to sew most fabrics, no matter what the fibre content. This is available in hundreds of different colour shades and sold in 100 metre, 250 metre, 500 metre and 1000 metre size spools. If you cannot find a Gutterman Thread colour to match your fabric, I doubt you will find one at all! Gutermann All Cotton Thread -  This Gutermann Thread is, as described, made from 100% cottons and is ideal for sewing projects together that have been made from cotton fabric. Similarly to the sew-all thread, this thread is available in a large range of colours and you are sure to find something to suit your project. Gutermann guarantee that their threads will not knot, fray or break while you are sewing which is always a positive as there is nothing worse than being in the middle of sewing on the machine and your thread snapping! Machine Embroidery Threads - Embroidery threads are typically finer that standard sewing Guterman threads. It is important to use machine embroidery threads if you are doing embroidery work as it will sew better and give you a more even finish than if you were to use a standard thread. Machine embroidery threads by Gutermann come in a number of different finishes including metallic, variegated colours, mirror shine and plain colours with a sheen to the thread. These will make your embroidery work stand out and will give you a top quality finish. Gutermann Top Stitch Threads - Top stitch Gutterman Threads, a thread made from polyester, are on of our strongest threads and is often used for sewing on buttons, upholstery work and even sewing in hair extensions! Unfortunately this is only available in a select number of colours and there are only 30 metres on the reel but it is still a very useful thread to have in your sewing box. Gutermann Hand Quilting Threads  - Gutermann hand quilting threads are made from 100% cotton and are particularly strong, making them ideal for hand quilting as they need to withstand passing through a lot of layers which can take its toll on a standard thread.
