This thread holds brown, mint, rose and light blue. The change is short enough that even small areas turn multicoloured. At 200 m the spool covers several designs. Colour code 9972 sits on the band. The sheen arises inside the polyester filament and therefore lasts.
For area-filling designs a multi thread is the simplest way to gain depth — without a single colour change at the machine. This thread is built like solid Poly Sheen — glossy polyester, colourfast — and differs only in its dyeing.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- appliqué on children's clothes
- 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
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.
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.
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 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.
