Description
Natural and calm: Light Green suits canvas, linen and anything that belongs outdoors. 500 m, weight 100, colour number 1099: printed on the spool so the colour stays reorderable. This thread is bred not for sheen but for a seam that holds.
Top and bobbin thread belong in your machine in the same colour, otherwise the bobbin flashes through along the seam. Troja is Amann's all-purpose sewing thread. It is meant for everything sewn on a domestic machine, runs quietly and does not fray along a seam.
What Amann Troja Sewing Thread 500 m Light Green is suitable for
- repairs on existing seams
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
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
What is the colour number for?
It is the identity of this colour. With it you reorder the same tone years later, while comparing by eye or on a screen almost always misses.
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.
May I iron over the seam?
Yes, at the temperature your fabric allows. The thread takes ordinary ironing heat; caution belongs with delicate fabrics rather than with the thread itself.
