Description
Slate reads matter-of-fact. On marled fabrics your seam disappears into it better than into any coloured tone. The spool holds 400 m of embroidery thread at weight 40, and the colour code reads 1618. On dense designs it pays to slow your machine down.
This thread also serves appliqué and decorative stitches on a sewing machine, not only the hoop. As a polyester thread Polyneon resists light and washing. Textiles that live outdoors keep their tone with it for a long time. The spool belongs upright in your box so the thread does not unwind on its own.
What Madeira Polyneon Embroidery Thread 400 m Slate is suitable for
- area fill stitches where the sheen pays off
- appliqué on children's clothes
- 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
How do I set the thread tension?
While embroidering the top tension may sit looser than for sewing. It is right when the reverse shows roughly one third top thread and two thirds bobbin thread.
How far does one spool go?
It depends on your design: a monogram needs a few metres, a densely stitched area many times more. For recurring designs in one colour the larger spool pays off.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool is available on its own. That lets you restock one tone instead of ordering an assortment of which half stays unused in your box.
How do I hoop the fabric properly?
Taut like a drum skin, but without stretching. Pull at the cloth and you get ripples once it comes out. On stretch material a fusible stabiliser on the reverse helps as well.
