How to choose the right sewing-thread colour

The best match is the thread that visually settles into the fabric when you view a single strand—not necessarily the spool that looks closest from a distance.

For invisible seamsLay one strand across the fabric in natural light. If two shades are close, the slightly deeper shade often blends more quietly than one that is too pale.
For printed fabricMatch the dominant background colour for construction seams, or select a recurring motif colour when the stitching will be visible.
For decorative stitchingChoose deliberate contrast and test the stitch density first—the finished stitched colour appears stronger than a single loose strand.

Screen colour note: monitors and phones can shift thread colours. Match against your fabric and use the Gütermann shade number as the reliable reference when reordering.

Frequently asked questions

Can Gütermann Sew-All be used in a sewing machine?

Yes. Sew-All is designed for domestic sewing machines as well as hand sewing. Use a suitable universal needle and adjust the needle type, size and tension for your fabric.

Is Gütermann Sew-All suitable for every fabric?

It is a versatile everyday choice for a broad range of woven and knitted clothing, craft and decorative fabrics. A specialist thread may be better for very heavy upholstery, highly elastic seams, bold topstitching or technical outdoor applications.

What needle should I use with Sew-All 100m thread?

Gütermann’s guide recommends a universal needle in the NM 70–90 range. Use the finer end for lightweight material and move upward as fabric weight and density increase.

How much thread is on each Gütermann Sew-All spool?

Each spool contains 100 metres of thread. This is a practical size for individual garments, alterations, repairs, craft projects and keeping a useful selection of colours ready to sew.
