The thread runs olive, light green and khaki in short sections. A design gains depth from it without your needing several spools. Colour code 9976 and 200 m per spool: the figures that let this same mixture be reordered. Mettler calls this mixture Green.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. Multi takes the colour changes off your hands: what would otherwise need several spools and stops runs here in one pass. The spool belongs upright in your box so the thread does not unwind on its own.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- area embroidery designs with a gradient
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- 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 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.
Does this thread suit lettering?
For large letters yes, for fine lettering rather not. On small characters the colour changes mid-letter, and the wording then reads restless instead of lively.
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 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.
