Recommended Use

To achieve perfect results, certain conditions must be observed when working with Gutermann Tera 60 thread.

Needles

Recommended needle sizes are #90-100. For particularly dense materials, use reinforced needles or needles with a cutting point. For stretchy fabrics, use ball point needles.

Tension Adjustment

The thread requires precise tension adjustment, especially when sewing different weights of fabric. A medium tension ensures a strong but not puckering seam.

Sewing Speed

Suitable for high-speed sewing – up to 6,000 stitches per minute. Works without skips or breaks when the machine is set up correctly.

Using the bobbin

Can be used in both the bobbin and top thread. For the strongest seams, it is recommended to use the same thread on both sides.
