Description
This thread shows Nickel. On jeans, sweat and anything marled it is often the least conspicuous move. The spool holds 400 m of embroidery thread at weight 40, and the colour code reads 1687. On dense designs it pays to slow your machine down.
Area fill stitches read more lively with this sheen than with matt thread — the tone shifts with your viewing angle. Its sheen arises inside the polyester filament rather than from a coating — which is why it survives many washes. Before your first design a test piece on the same fabric with the same stabiliser pays off.
What Madeira Polyneon Embroidery Thread 400 m Nickel is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- appliqué on children's clothes
- embroidery on textiles washed hot
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
What does chlorine-proof mean?
The thread does not lose its colour on contact with chlorinated water or chlorine-based cleaners. For beach towels, swimwear and workwear that is the decisive difference from plain embroidery thread.
Does the sheen last?
Yes. The shimmer arises inside the polyester filament rather than from a coating. So it is lost neither in the wash nor under an iron, as long as your fabric takes the treatment.
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.
Can I sew with it?
For decorative seams yes, for load-bearing seams rather not. Embroidery thread is built for sheen and suppleness, not for the tensile strength a structural seam needs over years.
