With Red you set a clear accent. On light fabrics your seam stands out, on dark ones it stays warmly visible. Number 4495, 100 m of yardage: with those figures you find this tone again for your next pair of trousers. Raise the tension a little so the topstitching lies taut.
It also serves to repair existing jeans seams, since it matches the tone of the old stitching. The thread is colourfast and survives the washing a pair of jeans takes over years. A jeans needle belongs with it; a universal needle breaks on thick layers.
What Gütermann Denim Jeansnähgarn Rot is suitable for
- visible seams on faux leather
- contrast seams on skirts and dresses
- pocket bags and patch pockets
Sewing tips
- Eine Jeansnadel der Stärke 90 bis 110 verwenden, sonst bricht sie an dicken Lagen.
- Für die Ziernaht das Denim-Garn als Oberfaden, unten normales Nähgarn in passender Farbe.
- Stichlänge auf drei bis dreieinhalb Millimeter stellen, das sieht an Jeans richtig aus.
- An dicken Stellen langsam nähen und notfalls das Handrad drehen.
- Fadenspannung etwas erhöhen, damit die Steppnaht straff liegt.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle do I need?
A jeans needle in size 90 to 110. It has a stronger point and a sturdier shaft so it does not snap on thick layers. A universal needle does not stand up to the load.
Can I assemble the trousers with it?
Better not. Structural seams take ordinary sewing thread; this one is meant for the visible seam. At the limit the seam construction counts for more than thread weight.
Does the seam survive washing?
Yes. The thread is polyester, colourfast and strong. A pair of jeans is washed often and warm, and that is exactly what this thread is built for — the topstitching loses neither colour nor strength.
Does it suit faux leather?
Yes. On bags and belts in faux leather the strong seam looks coherent. A leather needle and a walking foot make the work considerably easier, because faux leather sticks under a normal foot.
