EN71-3 sewing thread

Supplies: EN71-3 compliant sewing thread

22/10/2015

As you know, I have been searching for plush making supplies that comply with EN71-3 chemical migration standards to use in my display plushes. One item I had trouble getting my hands on was certified sewing thread. After a month of correspondence with various companies, I found two sources.

- Gutermann sew-all polyester thread

- Coats 100% polyamide transparent sewing thread

I asked whether I could post their statements and certificates here to make it freely available for makers, but the companies informed me that others would have to contact them directly. Feel free to contact me for email addresses. Please ensure you are satisfied before using these sewing threads for your makes.

Disclaimer: I do not speak on behalf of these companies. You will have to correspond with the companies directly and request the relevant information for your technical file. I am only trying to point other makers in the right direction to make it easier for the community.

Hi Jessica

I am new to toy making and had no idea about all the requirements I needed to to meet in order to sell them. I'm feeling a bit daunted and am so happy to have found your blog. It would really help me if you could send me the contact details for Gutermann threads and if you don't mind could you give me some pointers on what I should ask them, I would be really grateful. Thank you, Julie

Hi Jessica,

Love your website-really useful for fellow toymakers! Would you mind sending me the Gutermann thread contact details please? I am desperately trying to find the EN71-3 Certs for fabrics, elastic so and threads that I want to use in my toys....it's a complete minefield isn't it!
Also, I don't suppose you know any elastics (waistband types) that has this cert please? Thank you in advance, Michele

It was really good to read your blog in regards to the en71-3. I have just started making toys and have been trying to get hold of certificates. I have been struggling a bit with the thread as well. Would you mind passing me the gutermann contact details and any suggestions of how to approach them.

Thank you
