Fox Red sits deep in the saturated range. Tone on tone against matching fabric it reads very self-contained. Each spool carries 500 m of sewing thread at weight 100, and the colour number reads 0450. Together with a sharp needle, stitch formation stays clean even on long seams.
This thread does not fray and runs quietly through the guides. Exactly that keeps long seams uneventful. 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 Nähgarn Fuchsrot is suitable for
- repairs on existing seams
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- 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
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.
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.
How far does one spool go?
For a single garment it is usually enough several times over. If you plan a large project in one colour, buy two spools rather than restock mid-seam.
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.
