This thread holds light blue, mint, cream and rose. The change is short enough that even small areas turn multicoloured. At 200 m the spool covers several designs. Colour code 9936 sits on the band. The sheen arises inside the polyester filament and therefore lasts.
For area-filling designs a multi thread is the simplest way to gain depth — without a single colour change at the machine. As with solid Poly Sheen the sheen arises inside the filament; the colour changes do nothing to alter that.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- area embroidery designs with a gradient
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- large letters and numerals
Sewing tips
- Bei der Multi-Variante den Farbwechsel im Motiv einplanen: Flächen wirken lebendig, feine Schrift dagegen unruhig.
- Oberfadenspannung lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Dünnes Untergarn als Unterfaden verwenden.
- Ein Fadennetz über der Spule hält den Ablauf gleichmäßig.
- Bei dichten Motiven das Tempo drosseln, damit der Faden nicht heiß läuft.

Frequently asked questions
Can I steer where each colour lands?
Only partly. Stitch length influences the rhythm: long stitches show larger blocks of colour, short ones blend the tones more. The exact distribution stays with the stitch path.
Do I need stabiliser?
Almost always. Stabiliser holds your fabric steady in the hoop so a design does not distort. On the dense areas a multi thread invites, it matters especially.
How far does one spool go?
That depends on your design. For several medium areas it goes a long way. If you plan a very large design, two spools with the same colour code keep the mixture identical.
What do I do when the thread breaks?
Slow down and loosen the top tension. A net over the spool keeps the feed calm. The thread is no weaker at colour transitions, so it does not break there more often.
