As a haberdashery supplier we are well known in our local area and online for offering a large range of Gutermann Threads. Gutermann are a German company and manufacturer high quality threads for all different types of sewing projects. The most popular in their range is the polyester sew-all thread which can be used for the majority of sewing projects and most fabrics. It is guaranteed by Gutermann, not to snag, 'knot up' or break easily when sewing by hand or using the thread on a sewing machine which is one of the main reasons it is a best seller. Gutermann however do not just sell standard sewing thread but have a number of speciality threads which can be used for a multitude of different tasks. Top Stitch Thread : Whenever we are asked by customers to recommend a strong thread for a craft project or sewing job I would more than likely suggest the Gutermann top stitch thread. This is traditionally used to create the stitching on jeans but can also be used for sewing thick material or in some cases for use on upholstery. It is a very strong thread and cannot be broken by hand. Scissors are required to cut this thread and this makes it appealing to those who are looking for a durable thread. This thread is sold on 30 metre reels and comes in around 19 colour options. Hand Quilting Thread : Here at Calico Laine we have a lot of customers who like to create quilts in their spare time or retirement. This is a craft that takes a lot of time and effort and customers do not want to 'skimp' on poor quality thread and ruin all their hard work. By using Gutermann Threads, they are assured that the quality will remain high throughout their quilt. Many people choose to hand quilt rather than use the sewing machine and this thread is ideal as it is strong and durable. Metallics and Sliver Thread : Both of these Gutermann Threads are used for machine embroidery and would make your embroidery stand out from the ordinary embroidery threads. The Sliver thread has a high mirror finish to it whereas thew metallic thread has,as you would expect from the name, a metallic finish. These are both available on 200m reels and in a variety of different colours. If you are looking for plain embroidery thread with a simple sheen to them then the Gutermann sulky rayon threads are perfect. These can be used alongside the metallics and sliver thread to make a stunning piece of embroidery.
