red, blue, green and yellow take turns — a gradient that arises without planning and still looks even. 200 m per spool, colour code 9981: printed so the mixture stays findable. The thread is dyed through, so these tones stay strong over many washes.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. Mettler composes its multi versions in matched sequences. Within one spool the colours suit each other. Note the colour code with your project — the mixture cannot be described otherwise.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- appliqué on children's clothes
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
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 do I set the thread tension?
Looser for embroidery than for sewing. It is right when the reverse shows roughly one third top thread and two thirds bobbin thread, whichever tone happens to run.
What is the colour code for?
On a multi thread it matters more than usual: a sequence of tones is hard to put into words, but the code finds exactly this spool again, even years later.
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.
Does the multi thread shine like a solid one?
Yes. It is the same polyester filament, only dyed differently. The shimmer arises in the material rather than the colour, so every section of the spool shines to the same degree.
