Gütermann Tera 40 Tex 75 is an indoor/outdoor continuous filament polyester thread. The thread’s high tear and abrasion resistance makes it a great choice for indoor and outdoor upholstery projects. The optimal elasticity creates a beautiful and even seam. The high-shine thread creates a pearly, beautiful stitch appearance perfect for decorative seams. Choose Gütermann Tera 40 Polyester Thread for medium-weight sewing, including upholstery work, home textiles, leatherwork, bag making, apparel and shoes, and workwear. It can also be used for lighter Dacron sails (5 oz. and under) and canvaswork. Use with size #16 to #18 needles.

Please Note: Sailrite has tested Tera 40 Tex 75 on Cordura fabrics and does not recommend this thread for sewing Cordura on either Sailrite machines or non-Sailrite machines. Loose stitches will occur randomly. For Cordura, we recommend PremoBond or Anefil Polyester Thread.

Thread on a cone should pull up off the top of the cone for a smoother feed to the sewing machine and add an extra twist in the thread. The extra twist increases thread strength, helps keep the thread from unlaying, and eases tension problems.
