Description
The tone Brown belongs to the earth colours. Seams disappear into it on warm fabrics almost by themselves. The spool holds 500 m. Weight 100 is the fineness domestic machines expect, and colour number 0262 sits on the spool base. For your bobbin the best pick is this same thread in this same colour.
For assembling as much as for topstitching: at weight 100 your seam lies flat and adds no bulk. Amann builds Troja as a thread for everyday work: evenly twisted, strong enough for load-bearing seams and in a colour range covering the usual fabric tones.
What Amann Troja Sewing Thread 500 m Brown is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- bags, pouches and cushion covers
- hems on trousers and skirts
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
Which needle suits this thread?
A universal needle in a medium size matches weight 100. For jersey take a ballpoint needle, for denim a jeans needle — the thread stays the same in both cases.
Why does my thread break?
Usually the thread is not at fault: a blunt needle, tension set too tight or a wrong threading path is. Change the needle first, then check the tension.
Can I sew buttonholes with it?
Yes. The thread is even enough in thickness for a buttonhole stitch to cover cleanly. On sturdy fabrics it helps to test the buttonhole on a scrap first.
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.
