What is Skala 200?
Skala 200 by Gutermann is an ultra-fine, translucent polyester thread specially developed for industrial and domestic use in sergers, coverlockers, and coverstitch machines. It combines strength, elasticity, and incredible delicacy, making it indispensable when sewing thin, lightweight, sheer, or multi-colored fabrics.
These threads are the professional solution for those seeking an invisible seam, especially on garments where aesthetics and precision are important. Skala 200 is particularly valued in the lingerie, sportswear, children’s wear, and knitwear segments.
Advantages
Translucency
One of the key features is A translucent structure. The threads visually blend with the fabric, adapting to its color. This simplifies the thread selection process when working with printed or blended fabrics, and also saves time and resources when matching shades.
Exceptional fineness
Skala 200 threads are an even finer option than Skala 240, making them suitable for ultra-fine fabrics such as silk, organza, tulle, cambric, and microfiber. Thanks to their low weight, they do not overload the seam or cause deformations in the material.
Strength and elasticity
Despite their microscopic thickness, these threads have high tensile strength and excellent elasticity. This is especially important when working with stretchable fabrics, including Lycra, biflex, knits, interlock, and other materials used in activewear and underwear.
Soft and safe
The threads do not irritate the skin, do not scratch, and are not noticeable in seams. This makes them ideal for garments worn directly on the body: underwear, tops, tank tops, children’s clothing, and sportswear.
Excellent wear resistance
Skala 200 threads retain their properties after repeated washings, are UV-resistant, do not fade, and do not lose elasticity. This makes them ideal for casual and activewear.
Applications

- Industrial sewing of lingerie and swimwear

Make a test stitch
Check the stitching on a sample of fabric. This will help you adjust the tension and check the visual result.
