A clear Navy: the thread stays colourfast and never turns towards grey, however often it is washed. Colour code 1967, weight 40, 400 m of yardage: the figures that let this same colour be reordered exactly. The polyester is dyed through, so this tone stays the same over many washes.
It suits quilting stitches too, wherever a seam is meant to shine on purpose. Polyneon belongs to the robust embroidery threads. Chlorine and boil resistance make it the pick for anything washed often and hot. With a matching bobbin thread the reverse of a design stays flat.
What Madeira Polyneon Marine is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- monograms and lettering
- quilting stitches as a design element
Sewing tips
- Die Oberfadenspannung beim Sticken lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Ein dünnes Untergarn als Unterfaden nehmen, nicht dasselbe Polyneon.
- Ein Fadennetz über der Spule verhindert, dass sich der Faden in Schlaufen legt.
- Nadelstärke 75 oder 80 mit Stickspitze reicht für die meisten Stoffe.
- Bei dichten Motiven langsamer sticken, sonst erhitzt der Faden und reißt.
- Die Farbnummer ist die Identität des Tons — sie gehört ins Projektheft.
Available in more colours in the Madeira Polyneon series.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set the thread tension?
While embroidering the top tension may sit looser than for sewing. It is right when the reverse shows roughly one third top thread and two thirds bobbin thread.
Which needle suits it?
An embroidery needle with a larger eye and a slight ball point. It spares the thread and leaves your weave undamaged. A change after each larger project pays off, since blunt points drag.
How should I store the spools?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Polyester is lightfast, but dust on the thread carries lint into your machine. A closed box is entirely enough.
Does this thread shed lint?
Polyester sheds hardly any lint, unlike cotton thread. Even so, dust gathers in the hook area over time. Brushing it out monthly keeps your machine clean and stitching even.
