Description
Tomato Red is a tone with insistence. On bags and jackets it turns topstitching into a design element. The spool carries 400 m. Weight 40 is the usual fineness for machine embroidery, and the colour code is 1821. Because polyester takes up hardly any moisture, this thread stays supple even in damp rooms.
Polyneon is built as a machine embroidery thread: it copes with high stitch counts and runs calmly through the needle. Polyneon shines without reading metallic. The shimmer stays soft and gives a design relief rather than glare. Note the colour code with your project straight away, then you will find this tone again.
What Madeira Polyneon Embroidery Thread 400 m Tomato Red is suitable for
- designs on swimwear and workwear
- embroidery on textiles washed hot
- quilting stitches as a design element
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.
Which needle suits it?
An embroidery needle with a larger eye and a slight ball point. It spares the thread and leaves your weave undamaged. A change after each larger project pays off, since blunt points drag.
Why does my design ripple?
Usually stitch density is too high or stabiliser is missing. Reduce density in your software, add suitable stabiliser and hoop the fabric taut but not stretched.
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.
