Product Description
Gutermann Tacking & Basting Thread is a specialist 100% cotton thread designed for temporary stitching and fabric positioning during sewing projects. Perfect for dressmaking, tailoring, quilting and garment fitting, this soft thread is specifically made to hold fabric layers together securely while remaining easy to remove afterwards.
Basting is the process of temporarily joining two or more layers of fabric using long stitches before final sewing. This Gutermann basting thread is intentionally designed to break easily and pull away cleanly without damaging your fabric, making it ideal for delicate materials, fitting adjustments and precision sewing tasks.
Supplied on a generous 200m spool and available in 3 colours, it is recommended to choose a contrasting shade to make removal quick and simple once your permanent stitching is complete.
