Description
This thread shows Cream — light enough to work as topstitching on dark fabric, calm enough to stay quiet on pale cloth. The spool carries 400 m. Weight 40 is the usual fineness for machine embroidery, and the colour code is 1949. A fine bobbin thread belongs in the case, not this same embroidery thread.
This thread also serves appliqué and decorative stitches on a sewing machine, not only the hoop. Madeira Polyneon covers the ground reliably. On light tones over dark fabric that pays off in particular.
What Madeira Polyneon Embroidery Thread 400 m Cream is suitable for
- designs on swimwear and workwear
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
- labelling bags and gym sacks
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.
What do I do when the thread breaks?
Usually your machine runs too fast or the tension is too tight. Slow down, loosen the tension and check the thread path. A net over the spool keeps the feed calm.
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.
Which colour suits which fabric?
Dark tones work on light ground, light tones on dark. When unsure, lay the thread on the fabric before stitching — on a screen every colour looks different than in your hand.
