The thread runs pink, fuchsia and lilac in short sections. A design gains depth from it without your needing several spools. Colour code 1513 and 200 m of yardage at weight 40: the figures for an unambiguous reorder. Like solid Polyneon this thread is chlorine- and boil-proof.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. Madeira dyes the thread in sections. While stitching that becomes a gradient which looks slightly different on every design. Note the colour code with your project — the sequence of tones cannot be described otherwise.
What Madeira Polyneon Petunia is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
- designs on textiles washed hot
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
Do I need a separate bobbin thread?
Yes, a fine bobbin thread belongs in the case. With multicolour a neutral one works best, since the top colour keeps changing and no single tone matches throughout.
Which needle suits it?
An embroidery needle with a larger eye and a slight ball point. It spares the thread at the transitions and leaves your weave undamaged. Blunt needles drag and break the thread.
How should I store the spool?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Direct sun bleaches the outer layers, and with multicolour it shows at once when one tone grows paler than the rest.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool on its own. With multicolour that pays off especially, since one spool already brings several tones and you need not build a collection for them.
