This fabric comes in 13 colours
Along this thread rust, smoke blue, grey and dusky pink alternate — the gradient appears as you stitch, with no colour change needed. The spool holds 200 m of embroidery thread at weight 40, and the colour code reads 1609. Like solid Polyneon this thread is chlorine- and boil-proof.
For area-filling designs multicolour is the simplest way to gain depth: what reads flat in a solid thread gains structure here by itself. Its appeal lies in unpredictability: which tone lands where in a design is decided by stitch path rather than software.
What Madeira Polyneon Horizon is suitable for
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
- appliqué on children's clothes
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.
Available in more colours in the Madeira Polyneon series.
Frequently asked questions
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.
How do I set the thread tension?
Looser for embroidery than for sewing. It is right when the reverse shows roughly one third top thread and two thirds bobbin thread, whichever tone happens to be running.
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.
