Description
Grass green is the mid meadow green of the range. Neither blue-leaning nor yellow, but exactly in between. The base tone for meadows, trees and green areas of every kind.
Matt threads show every pull of the yarn more clearly than glossy ones. Stitch a little slower and loosen the upper tension a touch, then the filled area lies calm. As bobbin thread, a fine bobbin yarn belongs in the case, not Frosted Matt itself.
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 Grass Green 7988 - 500 m is suitable for
- Machine embroidery on clothing and home textiles
- Fine lettering and small designs
- Quilting lines with a matt surface
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.
