Description
The thread runs red, orange, green and yellow in short sections. A design gains depth from it without your needing several spools. Colour code 9939 and 200 m per spool: the figures that let this same mixture be reordered. Mettler calls this mixture Mexicana.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. Amann Mettler dyes the thread in sections. While stitching that becomes a gradient which turns out slightly differently on every design. Note the colour code with your project — the mixture cannot be described otherwise.
What Amann Mettler Poly Sheen Multi Mexicana 200 m is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
- borders and edgings
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
Do I need a separate bobbin thread?
Yes, a fine bobbin thread belongs in the case. With a changing top colour a neutral one works best, since no single tone matches the surface throughout.
Which needle suits it?
An embroidery needle with a larger eye and a slight ball point. It spares the thread and leaves your weave undamaged. A change after each larger project pays off, since blunt points drag.
Can I sew with it instead of embroidering?
For decorative seams yes. For load-bearing seams embroidery thread is the wrong pick, being built for sheen and suppleness rather than the strength a structural seam needs.
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.
