Description
This spool carries light grey, mid grey and charcoal in a flowing change. Any area reads more lively with it than with a single tone. The spool carries 200 m at weight 40; colour code 1514 finds this exact sequence of tones again. The sheen arises inside the polyester filament and therefore lasts.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. An embroidery thread for areas: on large fill stitches the gradient shows most clearly. On plain ground the change shows more clearly than on patterned fabric.
What Madeira Polyneon Multicolour Oyster Shell Embroidery Thread 200 m Col 1514 is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
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
How does the gradient arise?
The thread is dyed in sections. While stitching the colour travels with the thread through your design, so the gradient appears without a colour change at the machine and differs on every design.
Do I need a separate bobbin thread?
Yes, a fine bobbin thread belongs in the case. With multicolour a neutral one works best, since the top colour keeps changing and no single tone matches throughout.
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.
What do I do when the thread breaks?
Slow down and loosen the top tension. A net over the spool keeps the feed calm. The thread is no weaker at colour transitions, so it does not break there more often.
