Description
Natural white is a neutral white without brighteners. It sits between cream and bright white and suits almost any fabric. The white for anyone who finds bright white too cold and cream too yellow.
The ceramic in the fibre takes the shine out of the thread. A design therefore looks as if drawn in chalk, and neither light nor viewing angle changes much about that — unlike glossy polyester, which appears lighter or darker depending on stitch direction. For lettering and filled areas that is exactly the advantage.
Set beside glossy polyester, Frosted Matt gives a design a calm area from which outlines lift. Many people use exactly that difference rather than having to choose between the two kinds of thread.
What Madeira Frosted Matt No. 40 Natural White 7803 - 500 m is suitable for
- Machine embroidery on cotton, linen and sweat fabric
- Lettering, names and monograms
- Designs exposed to a lot of light
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 does Frosted Matt differ from glossy embroidery thread?
It is matt, and genuinely so: ceramic in the fibre takes the shine out of the polyester. A design reads calmer, and the colour does not shift when you turn the fabric or hold it into the light.
Which needle suits this thread?
Madeira recommends a machine embroidery needle in size 75 or 80. Anything finer and the thread starts to chafe in the eye, breaking eventually in the middle of a filled area.
Do I need a special bobbin thread?
A fine bobbin yarn belongs in the bobbin case, not Frosted Matt itself. White under pale fabric, black under dark. That way the back builds up less and your design stays flat.
Can the embroidery be washed hot?
Up to 60 degrees yes, chlorine bleach in moderation as well. Iron at medium temperature, never directly on the design — otherwise the matt surface turns shiny in single spots.
