Gutermann tacking thread is the professional dressmaker’s choice for temporary stitching. Made from 100% cotton, it is deliberately designed to break cleanly and easily when pulled, making it ideal for basting seams before final stitching, securing quilt layers, and creating tailor tacks for pattern markings. The soft cotton construction means it won’t leave marks or distort delicate fabrics, and it slides out smoothly without snagging. This mixed colour pack gives you a ready-to-use selection of high-visibility colours so your tacking stitches are always easy to spot and remove.
How to use: Thread by hand or machine and stitch loosely along the seam or marking line. Once the permanent stitching is complete, simply pull the tacking thread to remove it cleanly. For tailor tacks, push the needle through the pattern and fabric, leaving a loop, then cut between the layers to leave thread markers at each point. Use different colours to distinguish between different pattern markings.
This listing supplies a fixed mixed colour pack of 2 reels each of Natural, Pink, and Yellow. If you require a single colour, please see our single-colour tacking thread listing.
