Description
A yellow-leaning green that recalls young foliage. It is the brightest of the non-neon greens. For leaves, stems and anything spring-like.
500 metres go a long way, and the snap spool closes so that no thread end hangs out. The colour number is printed on the spool and stands in the article name — note it down with your project and you will find the same tone again when you reorder.
On dark fabric a matt thread wants slightly more stitch density than a glossy one: it lacks the highlight that otherwise fakes coverage. A test run on scrap fabric settles this faster than any amount of thinking.
What Madeira Frosted Matt No. 40 Lime Green 7848 - 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 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.
