Description
A very light, cool blue with a touch of grey. On white it stays restrained and reads fresh rather than sweet. For clouds, water and names on pale baby linen.
Frosted Matt is spun a little finer than other threads at weight 40. Small lettering and narrow outlines stay clean instead of running together. Madeira recommends a machine embroidery needle in size 75 or 80 — any finer and the thread starts to chafe in the eye.
The embroidery keeps a calm surface even after many washes. Polyester takes up hardly any water, so a design does not shrink while the fabric around it moves.
What Madeira Frosted Matt No. 40 Baby Blue 7628 - 500 m is suitable for
- Machine embroidery on wovens and jersey
- Filled areas without shine
- Appliqué work and outlines
Sewing tips
- Maschinensticknadel der Stärke 75 oder 80 nehmen (Madeira empfiehlt Art. 9450).
- Die Oberfadenspannung etwas lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Als Unterfaden ein dünnes Untergarn nehmen, nicht das Frosted Matt selbst.
- Matte Garne zeigen jeden Fadenzug — lieber langsamer sticken als zu schnell.
- Das Motiv nicht direkt bügeln; die matte Oberfläche wird sonst stellenweise glänzend.
- Die Farbnummer zum Projekt notieren, sie ist die Identität des Tons.

Frequently asked questions
How much thread do I need for one design?
That depends on stitch count and area. For lettering and small motifs one spool lasts a long time; for large, densely filled areas it pays to keep a second spool of the main tone in stock.
Does matt thread break more easily than glossy?
Not as a rule. It does show every pull of the yarn more clearly. Run the machine a little slower and loosen the upper tension a touch, and you get a calm surface without loops.
Can I mix matt and glossy thread in one design?
Yes, and the contrast is appealing: matt areas, glossy outlines. What matters is running both threads at the same stitch density, otherwise the matt part looks thinner than the glossy one.
What is the colour number for?
It is the identity of the tone. By eye alone you rarely hit the same shade again later, so the number belongs in your project notes — reorder by it and you get exactly the same tone.
