Light Grey reads matter-of-fact. On marled fabrics your seam disappears into it better than into any coloured tone. 100 m per spool, number 9830 — that amount is cut for topstitching rather than whole garments. 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. A thread for the visible seam. If you want a discreet one, ordinary sewing thread serves you better. Before topstitching, a test piece on the same layers pays off.
What Gütermann Denim Jeansnähgarn Hellgrau is suitable for
- repairs on existing jeans seams
- topstitching on denim jackets
- contrast seams on skirts and dresses
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 thread belongs on the bobbin?
Ordinary sewing thread in a matching colour. This heavy denim thread belongs in the machine as a top thread only; below it would add bulk and upset stitch formation, since the hook must take up more thread.
What stitch length is right?
A little longer than on a normal seam — three to three and a half millimetres look right on jeans. Short stitches make a heavy seam read crowded and restless.
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.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool on its own. Since denim thread is usually needed in one tone per project, buying the single tone beats an assortment.
