Warm and deep: Chocolate Brown suits anything meant to look handmade. 400 m at weight 40, printed with colour code 1659 — that is how you find this tone again later. The thread is wound smoothly and feeds without jerking.
Because this thread resists chlorine, a design holds up on swimwear and workwear washed aggressively. As a polyester thread Polyneon resists light and washing. Textiles that live outdoors keep their tone with it for a long time. The spool belongs upright in your box so the thread does not unwind on its own.
What Madeira Polyneon Schokobraun is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- embroidery on textiles washed hot
- designs on dark fabrics where the shimmer shows
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.
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.
How do I hoop the fabric properly?
Taut like a drum skin, but without stretching. Pull at the cloth and you get ripples once it comes out. On stretch material a fusible stabiliser on the reverse helps as well.
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.
