berry, grey, olive and cream succeed one another along the thread. How long each section reads in a design depends on your stitch length. 200 m of yardage, colour code 9916 — on a multi thread that code is the only unambiguous description. The thread is dyed through, so these tones stay strong over many washes.
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
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- appliqué on children's clothes
- 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
How does the colour change arise?
The thread is dyed in sections. While stitching the colour travels with the thread through your design, so the gradient appears without any intervention and differs on every design.
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.
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.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool is sold on its own. With a mixture that pays off especially, since one spool already brings several tones and no collection is needed.
