A full, warm Pumpkin: the tone looks especially coherent on natural fabrics and holds up through many washes. With 400 m on the spool and weight 40 this thread fits any embroidery machine. The colour code is 1763. Because polyester takes up hardly any moisture, this thread stays supple even in damp rooms.
For lettering and monograms the fineness is well chosen: letters do not close up. Madeira builds Polyneon from polyester. The thread shines clearly, stays colourfast and survives washing at high temperatures without losing tone.
What Madeira Polyneon Kürbis is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- monograms and lettering
- 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.

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.
Do I need stabiliser?
Almost always. Stabiliser holds your fabric steady in the hoop so a design does not distort. Tear-away suits wovens, cut-away suits stretch, water-soluble suits terry.
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.
May I iron over the embroidery?
Best from the reverse and with a cloth between. Polyester takes heat, but direct heat flattens the stitches and robs a design of its relief.
