Blouse
Where extraordinary things become standard, choosing the right sewing thread becomes even more significant. Almost anything is possible, from the fabric quality to details such as darts, frills and lace, individual cuff, collar and closure options, right through to colour. Efficiency is also a key factor in production. That’s why A&E Gütermann offers highly specialised sewing threads as well as sewing threads suitable for use on automatic machines that can be used for all sewing operations.

Skirt
The fabric thickness – light, medium or heavy – is the most important factor for general skirt production. The choice of sewing thread is based on this. A&E Gütermann offers the perfect sewing threads here. With their high tear and rub resistance, they are ideal for closing and holding seams of fabrics and knitted fabrics of different thicknesses.

Trousers
With trousers in particular, specific seam positions such as side, crotch and seat seams are subjected to particular loads. So sewing threads that are both tear-resistant and elastic are required here. With our solutions, you are always on the safe side.
