Description
Factual and calm: Silver Grey suits technical fabrics as much as grey marled sweat. Colour number 0412, weight 100, 500 m of yardage: the three figures that find this tone again later. The thread is evenly twisted and therefore runs through your machine without jerking.
Top and bobbin thread belong in your machine in the same colour, otherwise the bobbin flashes through along the seam. Troja is no embroidery thread: it does not shine, but it takes strain. For structural seams that is the right direction. A spool this size survives several garments before it runs out.
What Amann Troja Sewing Thread 500 m Silver Grey is suitable for
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- hems on trousers and skirts
- patchwork and quilting
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
How do I set the thread tension?
For most fabrics your machine's default will do. If the seam puckers, top tension is too tight; if the top thread lies loose on the surface, it is too loose.
Does the seam take hot washing?
Yes. The thread is colourfast and copes with usual wash temperatures. What decides is your fabric: wash the piece as its material allows, not as the thread could.
Does it suit topstitching?
Yes, as long as your seam should stay flat. For deliberately thick decorative seams on jeans there is heavier thread; for clean, discreet topstitching this one is right.
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.
