Recommendations for working with Gutermann Mara 220 threads

- Use a quality bobbin — the thread works best when wound evenly and fed steadily.
- Store your threads properly — avoid direct sunlight and humidity to maintain strength and color.
- Test on a scrap of fabric — Before starting the main sewing, make a test seam to evaluate the tension and stitch.
These simple steps will help to avoid breaks, skips and poor-quality stitching.
