This spool carries red, blue, yellow and green in a flowing change. Any area reads more lively with it than with a single tone. The spool carries 200 m; colour code 9937 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. 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
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
- 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.
How may I wash the piece?
As its fabric allows. The polyester is colourfast and every tone on the spool is set the same way, so no section bleeds into another.
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.
How far does one spool go?
That depends on your design. For several medium areas it goes a long way. If you plan a very large design, two spools with the same colour code keep the mixture identical.
