This thread shows Ecru — light enough to work as topstitching on dark fabric, calm enough to stay quiet on pale cloth. 100 m, number 1016, matched to jeans needles in sizes 90 to 110. For the underside take ordinary sewing thread in a matching colour.
On bags in canvas and faux leather that heavy seam looks right too. The spool is cleanly wound and feeds evenly — with a heavy thread that matters more than with a fine one. The spool covers topstitching on several pairs of trousers.
What Gütermann Denim Jeansnähgarn Ecru is suitable for
- topstitching on jeans
- topstitching on canvas bags
- visible seams on faux leather
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 colour suits blue denim?
Traditionally a gold or copper tone. The contrast turns your seam into a design element. For something calmer, take a tone near the fabric — losing the typical jeans look.
How far does one spool go?
Across topstitching on several pairs of trousers. Since only the top thread uses it and topstitching runs short, the spool lasts longer than its length first suggests.
Can I repair an old jeans seam with it?
Yes, that is one of the commonest uses. What matters is matching the old seam's tone; laying it on the seam in daylight helps more than comparing on a screen.
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.
