The tone Blueberry Blue belongs among the colours needed most often — jeans, shirts and bed linen are rarely without blue. The spool carries 400 m. Weight 40 is the usual fineness for machine embroidery, and the colour code is 1975. A fine bobbin thread belongs in the case, not this same embroidery thread.
For towels, bathrobes and bed linen boil resistance decides: a design keeps its colour even when washed hot. Madeira builds Polyneon from polyester. The thread shines clearly, stays colourfast and survives washing at high temperatures without losing tone.
What Madeira Polyneon Heidelbeerblau is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- designs on swimwear and workwear
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
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.
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.
How do I plan several colours?
Fix the sequence beforehand and lay the spools out in that order. It saves time at each change and prevents similar tones being swapped by mistake.
