Blueberry sits in the violet range and keeps its saturation under artificial light too. Weight 100 and 500 m: the standard figures for sewing thread on a domestic machine. Note colour number 0012. For your bobbin the best pick is this same thread in this same colour.
For repairs the colour number decides: with it you match the old seam's tone instead of guessing. Troja runs quietly through guides and needle eye. That spares your machine and keeps stitch formation even. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Heidelbeere is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- children's clothes washed often
- alterations to shop-bought clothing
Sewing tips
- Stärke 100 passt zu Universalnadeln der Stärken 70 bis 90.
- Ober- und Unterfaden in derselben Farbe nehmen, sonst blitzt der Unterfaden an der Naht durch.
- Bei dehnbaren Stoffen einen elastischen Stich wählen — das Garn selbst dehnt sich nicht.
- Angebrochene Spulen stehend und dunkel lagern, dann bleibt die Farbe frisch.
- Farbnummer zum Projekt notieren; nach Augenmaß trifft man den Ton selten wieder.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this thread on an overlocker?
Better not. Overlock thread is softer and finer so the edge adds no bulk, and it comes on larger cones. Sewing thread runs restlessly in an overlocker and builds bulk.
Which colour do I pick when I cannot match the fabric?
When unsure, take the slightly darker option. A darker thread disappears into the cloth, a lighter one shows at once, especially along seams that catch the light.
What stitch length is right?
For most fabrics it sits in the middle of your machine's range. The thicker the fabric, the longer the stitch — short stitches in thick material pucker a seam.
How do I match the tone of an old seam?
Through the colour number if you still have it. Otherwise lay the thread straight onto the seam in daylight — artificial light shifts colours more than people expect.
