Ornamental & Button Hole Thread

Gütermann Ornamental and Button Hole Thread

Gütermann Ornamental and Button Hole Thread is a sturdy decorative thread on a cone, made for visible topstitching and buttonholes that need to hold up under regular wear. Each cone holds 30 metres, enough for several buttonholes or a decorative edge on a jacket. The thread is noticeably thicker and stronger than standard sewing thread, so the stitch doesn't cut through or fray under repeated use. It comes in 40 colours, giving you plenty of room to match the fabric exactly or create a deliberate contrast.

What makes button hole thread different

Button hole thread stands apart from regular sewing thread mainly through its thickness and tensile strength. Where a fine thread such as Gütermann Sew-All Thread 200 Metre works well for invisible seams, this thread is built to be seen and to last. You'll reach for it when hand-stitching buttonholes, securing buttons that take a lot of strain, or adding decorative topstitching to coats, bags and workwear.

Where you'd use it in the sewing room

This thread suits a range of jobs:

• hand or machine stitched buttonholes
• decorative topstitching on collars, cuffs or pockets
• securing buttons on coats and tailored jackets
• decorative edge finishing on bags and accessories
• any stitching where extra strength matters

For ordinary seams that stay out of sight, a finer thread makes more sense, something like Gütermann Sew-All Thread 500 Metre or the 1000 metre version for bigger projects.

Colour range and quality

With 40 colours to choose from, you can work subtly or make a real statement. Pick a shade that matches the fabric for a clean finish, or go for contrast when the stitching itself is meant to be a design feature. If you need extra strength without the decorative element, Gütermann Extra Strong 100M (M782) is a sensible alternative. Working with overlock stitches on larger surfaces calls for Overlock Thread 3000 Yards instead.

Ordered per cone, shipped quickly

You order this thread per cone, just as much as the project requires. The wider Gütermann range runs from fine sewing thread through to sturdy ornamental thread like this one, and everything ships from our Tilburg warehouse. Both home sewers and businesses producing buttonholes and topstitching as part of their collections can order here. Looking for a finer thread for precision work?

In short
