Sewing thread Brother Madeira Polineon 1640 Stone Grey 1000 m spool

Brother Madeira Polineon 1640 Stone Grey is a polyester sewing thread presented on a 1000 m spool. Designed for both machine and hand sewing, embroidery and overlocking, this thread delivers consistent thickness and stable colour appropriate for general garment construction, repairs and decorative stitching. The Stone Grey shade offers a neutral, muted tone that blends with many fabrics and provides a professional finish for visible seams and topstitching.

Advantages

Polineon 1640 is engineered from high-tenacity polyester fibres to combine strength with a smooth surface that reduces friction in sewing machines. The long 1000 m spool minimises thread changes for larger projects and professional workflows. Colourfast dyeing ensures minimal fading after washing and repeated use, while the even twist and consistent thickness give uniform stitch formation for both straight seams and decorative embroidery.

• General garment construction and alterations

• Visible topstitching and decorative stitching

How to use

Load the spool onto your machine or prepare the thread for hand sewing in the same way as standard polyester thread. Use a compatible needle size for medium-weight thread and adjust machine tension to achieve balanced stitch formation. For overlocking, thread according to the machine manufacturer’s guides; for embroidery, stabilise the fabric to prevent puckering and test stitches on a scrap fabric to confirm tension and design appearance. When switching colours or thread types, trim and secure thread ends to avoid tangling.

Usage recommendations

Store the spool in a dry, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and reduce dust accumulation. For best results on delicate fabrics, perform a trial on a fabric scrap and use appropriate stabilisers for embroidery. Replace needles regularly to prevent shredding and maintain stitch quality.
