Description
orange, yellow and light green succeed one another along the thread. How long each section reads in a design depends on your stitch length. 200 m, weight 40, colour code 1511 — with multicolour that code is the only reliable description. A net over the spool keeps the feed even.
For area-filling designs multicolour is the simplest way to gain depth: what reads flat in a solid thread gains structure here by itself. Polyneon Multicolour is the multi-toned version of Madeira's embroidery thread: the same glossy polyester filament, only with a changing tone.
What Madeira Polyneon Multicolour Sunrise Embroidery Thread 200 m Col 1511 is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
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
Does multicolour suit lettering?
For large letters yes, for fine lettering rather not. On small characters the colour changes mid-letter, and the wording then reads restless instead of lively.
What is the colour code for?
With multicolour it matters more than usual: a sequence of tones is hard to describe, but the code finds exactly this spool again, even years later.
Can I combine multicolour with a solid thread?
Yes, and often that is the better answer: the area in multicolour, the outline in one of its tones. Your design then reads lively while staying clearly defined.
Do I need stabiliser?
Almost always. Stabiliser holds your fabric steady in the hoop so a design does not distort. On the dense areas multicolour tends to get, it matters especially.
