AMANN Sewing & Industrial Thread NZ

Match the construction to the seam: Rasant includes polyester/cotton core-spun options, while Saba offers polyester core-spun thread. Serafil and Strongbond include specialist constructions for their stated applications. Choose from the exact product’s fibre, strength and recommended use rather than the brand name alone.

Check the number and machine setup: Rasant 120 and Rasant 75 are different thread sizes; Rasant-Oxella 35, 25 and 11 also serve different seam demands. Compare the manufacturer’s ticket or Tex specifications, needle recommendation and your machine’s capacity. Larger numbers from different numbering systems are not a reliable way to compare thickness.

Choose outdoor and blind-hemming options deliberately: Outdoor Pro listings specify UV-resistant thread for their stated uses; do not assume that property applies to every AMANN thread. Fine Serafil and clear Transfil options have their own blind-hemming applications and setup requirements. Test the chosen thread on a sample seam.

Select the shade and spool length: Open the relevant colour group to choose a shade, then confirm the listed metres and presentation. The Rasant 120 range groups shades across twelve listings; it is one thread family rather than twelve different constructions. Follow the fabric and thread care guidance for the finished project.
