Azure sits in the blue range and reads deep or fresh depending on the fabric — the surroundings decide. Colour code 1733, weight 40, 400 m of yardage: the figures that let this same colour be reordered exactly. This tone is lightfast, which makes the difference on pieces by a window.
This thread also serves appliqué and decorative stitches on a sewing machine, not only the hoop. The thread runs low on lint and keeps stitch formation even. That spares your machine and calms a design. With a matching bobbin thread the reverse of a design stays flat.
What Madeira Polyneon Azur is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- quilting stitches as a design element
- labelling bags and gym sacks
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 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.
Why does my design ripple?
Usually stitch density is too high or stabiliser is missing. Reduce density in your software, add suitable stabiliser and hoop the fabric taut but not stretched.
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.
How do I plan several colours?
Fix the sequence beforehand and lay the spools out in that order. It saves time at each change and prevents similar tones being swapped by mistake.
