Red is a tone with insistence. On bags and jackets it turns topstitching into a design element. 500 m, weight 100, colour number 504: printed on the spool so the colour stays reorderable. For your bobbin the best pick is this same thread in this same colour.
Top and bobbin thread belong in your machine in the same colour, otherwise the bobbin flashes through along the seam. The spools are cleanly wound and feed without loops. That sounds minor but decides how calm your sewing goes. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Rot is suitable for
- bags, pouches and cushion covers
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
