Gutermann MARA 50 thread

This kit was perfect! I wanted to make my bikepacking crew each a little gift and this kit made it super easy and easier to get everyone their own color. I'll definitely be back to have a custom fabric printed.

Order was deleted quickly and accurately. Will order from here again.

I havent had a chance to use this thread. I'm sure it's great though, it's nice and strong and a good thickness.

I wish they had the Tera 60 with the water resistant coating though. I had to order it from overseas.

never been let down by gutermann or by rsbtr.

Gutermann MARA 50 thread

Very quick and easy to navigate website

It sews the same as Mara 70 with a 90/14 needle. A little bit harder to thread the needle though. Strength should be better than regular Mara 70, but I have not tested that in any meaningful way.

There's nothing better than Guterman Mara polyester thread in various weights for machine sewing outdoor projects ranging from quilts to hammocks and packs. It's strong, throws off absolutely no machine-clogging lint and it feeds smoothly. It is inexplicably hard to get hold of in Australia even though Guterman holds a large part of the market here for more general purpose tailoring and dressmaking thread. Ask the friendly local haberdasher to order Mara and they have never heard of it! That's why I'm grateful to have Ripstop by the Roll who generally have it in stock and postage times halfway around the world are not too onerous. But it's always worth waiting to get the best thread when working with expensive fabrics. Order a couple more reels when you order your fabric and you will never run out!

I've been sewing cotton fabric with poly or cotton thread for years. This thread, with ripstop, is essentially indestructible. Using a seam ripper I had to basically cut every single connection to get it to come apart, whereas with cotton/poly I can cut one connection and "rip" 10 or so connections. Excellent thread, unless I mess up, in which case... I'd rather have something lighter to tear apart.

I love my ripstop fabric and Gueterman? thread. It seems durable and hopefully when the crate pad is put to use next week, my daughter's dog won't be able to chew it up too fast! Thanks

Very high quality thread

This thicker thread is great for backpacks, webbing, and anywhere that might need a little extra strength. It sewed well with a size 16 needle although the top tension did need to be increased.

With a tensile breaking strength of 2,350 cN (5.3 lb), this Gutermann Mara 50 thread is 34% stronger than Gutermann Mara 70.

Since this thread is not bonded (it's core-spun polyester), it's more supple and less likely to unspool spontaneously. The downside of not being bonded is that it's harder to initially get this thread through the needle, and it's more likely to telescope (get bunched-up above the needle). A needle with a larger eye (such as a topstitch needle) is probably a good idea.

Since this thread is more UV resistant than nylon, it's a good choice for outdoor applications.

Very sewable, even with a small needle. I estimate tensile strength of at least 6 lbs from pull tests.

Love this thread! It's the perfect size (in my opinion) for pack making. Super durable! Haven't had a stitch fail yet.

Its good

Gutermann MARA 50 thread

Colors match perfect

Feeds smoothly through my ancient Singer 237; holds fast with handwork easily, too.

This is the thread I'm using for my hammock and tree straps (and underquilt, and tarp, and backpack, and whatever other gear I decide to make). Very durable stuff. Good product, fast shipping; I continue to be a happy customer. Thanks, RBTR! Keep up the good work. You rock.

i made a 2 person hammock with this thread. Stronger than expected

I ordered 1.9oz ripstop nylon and figured that I would be getting the same old stuff that I get from JoAnn Fabric. Umm I was shocked because this material is soft, strong, beautiful and very high quality material. Not only was I paying way too much for it at JoAnn's, I wasn't getting nearly as good of quality material. This ripstop material has different reinforcement square sizes that are smaller and more frequent than I was getting with JoAnn's ripstop. Never again going to JoAnn's to get ripstop ever again. Ripstop By the roll has ripstop with quality that is second to NONE. I don't want to say what I was paying at JoAnn's for inferior ripstop but lets just say, Ripstop by the roll was superior in quality, price, feel and satisfaction. I will be purchasing a lot more material in the future. Hey guys, thank you for giving me quality product for my money. You have just made a customer happy and loyal.

My order was delivered as ordered and on time. A positive experience.

I have used the Gutermann 50 for sewing hammock straps and other heavier applications. The 70 works well for hammocks, tarps, etc. The thread color match with material I have purchased from Kyle is really good as well. The products I have ordered from this site are superior to those I have purchased and used from other companies. Looking forward to my next project powered by Ripstop by the Roll.

My ripstop fabric is beautiful & of great qualify. I haven't used it yet but have great expectations. I especially like the fact that it comes from NC where I also live. Shipping was super quick. My free gutterman thread is beautiful. I have great hope for it to work well in all my sewing machines. Thank you.

Strong and easy to use.

i've ordered several things from them and its always been a good buy. had no problems. they will be the first one to order from whenever i need something.

Using the thread for a hammock, seems to be holding up really well. High quality and easy to use with a machine.

Got what I ordered.
