This spool carries emerald green, green and mint in a flowing change. Any area reads more lively with it than with a single tone. The spool carries 200 m; colour code 9931 finds this exact sequence of tones again. The sheen arises inside the polyester filament and therefore lasts.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. An embroidery thread for areas: on large fill stitches the change shows most clearly. 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
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
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 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.
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.
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.
