Description
Dark Beige covers the range between white and brown. That is exactly where most undyed fabrics sit. 400 m, weight 40, colour code 1884: three figures worth more in a project book than any colour description. A fine bobbin thread belongs in the case, not this same embroidery thread.
Polyneon is built as a machine embroidery thread: it copes with high stitch counts and runs calmly through the needle. The thread runs low on lint and keeps stitch formation even. That spares your machine and calms a design. With a matching bobbin thread the reverse of a design stays flat.
What Madeira Polyneon Embroidery Thread 400 m Dark Beige is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- 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
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 a separate bobbin thread?
Yes. A fine bobbin thread belongs in the case, not this same embroidery thread. Otherwise the reverse builds bulk, a design ripples and your machine pulls more thread than it needs.
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.
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.
