The thread runs pink, raspberry and rose in short sections. A design gains depth from it without your needing several spools. Colour code 9923 and 200 m per spool: the figures that let this same mixture be reordered. Mettler calls this mixture Lipstick Pinks.
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
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- 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.
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.
How should I store the spool?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Direct sun bleaches the outer layers, and in a mixture it shows at once when one tone grows paler than the rest.
