LN 031 works backwards from the joint that has to be made: six stitch classes in ISO 4915, eight seam classes in ISO 4916, the machines that produce them, and the thread in each of four positions. It carries AMANN’s own consumption figures, and why a knit hem sewn as a flatseam takes ten times the thread of a lockstitch. Two seams can look identical on the face and be nothing alike on the back. LN 031, now in the AMANN Education Suite. Read more

What this module covers Material damage is what happens to the fabric and to the thread while a product is being made. LN-027 covers five mechanisms and how to tell them apart: a needle that cuts instead of displacing, a needle that runs hot enough to melt thermoplastic fibres, friction that opens the fibre surface, a seam structure that fails without any fibre being destroyed, and damage that is created in production but only becomes visible after washing. It adds the needle decisions behind most of them — size in Nm, cloth point against cutting point, needle condition and the… Read more

Understand the thread. Navigate the portfolio. Make the right choice. AMANN’s range covers everything from a classic cotton thread to aramids for protective clothing and cellulosic filaments from wood pulp. Learning it product by product takes a long time. Understanding the structure behind it takes about 20 minutes. THREAD MASTER is an interactive learning game built on one chain:raw material → construction → properties → size → application → product. You work through it step by step: identify what threads are made of, understand how the six construction types change the behaviour of a seam, place real products in the… Read more
