Blue reads calm and matter-of-fact. As a seam the tone disappears on blue fabric and steps forward on light. 400 m, weight 40, colour code 1842: three figures worth more in a project book than any colour description. The spool is sold singly, so you can top up one tone on purpose.
For towels, bathrobes and bed linen boil resistance decides: a design keeps its colour even when washed hot. An embroidery thread without a special purpose: Polyneon works on wovens and knits alike, as long as the stabiliser suits your fabric.
What Madeira Polyneon Blau is suitable for
- designs on swimwear and workwear
- area fill stitches where the sheen pays off
- 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
Do I need a separate bobbin thread?
Yes. A fine bobbin thread belongs in the case, not this same embroidery thread. Otherwise the reverse builds bulk, a design ripples and your machine pulls more thread than it needs.
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 may I wash the finished piece?
As its fabric allows. The thread is boil-proof and chlorine-proof, so it sets no limit on temperature. That limit comes from the material you stitched on.
Which colour should the bobbin thread be?
White under light fabrics, black under dark ones. On sheer material a look from the right side before stitching pays off — the wrong bobbin thread shimmers through a design.
