light blue, mint and yellow green take turns — a gradient that arises without planning and still looks even. Weight 40, 200 m per spool, colour code 1602: printed so the sequence stays findable. A net over the spool keeps the feed even.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. Multicolour takes the colour changes off your hands: what would otherwise need several spools and stops runs here in one pass. On plain ground the change shows more clearly than on patterned fabric.
What Madeira Polyneon Amazone is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- designs on textiles washed hot
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
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.

Frequently asked questions
How does the gradient arise?
The thread is dyed in sections. While stitching the colour travels with the thread through your design, so the gradient appears without a colour change at the machine and differs on every design.
Can I steer where each colour lands?
Only partly. Stitch length influences the rhythm: long stitches show larger blocks of colour, short ones blend the tones more. The exact distribution stays with the stitch path.
How far does one spool go?
That depends on your design. For several medium areas it goes a long way. If you plan a very large design, two spools with the same number are the safer choice.
How do I hoop the fabric?
Taut like a drum skin, but without stretching the cloth. Pull it and you get ripples once it comes out — on the large areas multicolour tends to get, that shows immediately.
