White sits in the light range and works as contrast on any fabric as soon as the ground carries even a little colour. At 2500 m a cone lasts across several projects. The colour code reads 2000. For a seam in one colour throughout you need several cones of the same tone.
Suitable for neatening cut edges on jersey and wovens alike. Trojalock differs from sewing thread mainly in its twist — softer, and therefore less stiff along an edge. Change needles regularly; blunt points drag at a soft thread.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Weiß is suitable for
- rolled hems on light fabrics
- looper threads in a neutral tone
- visible edges in the fabric colour
Sewing tips
- Für den Vierfadenstich vier Spulen, für den Dreifadenstich drei.
- Nadelfäden in der Stoffarbe, Greiferfäden ruhig neutral — das spart beim Farbwechsel Zeit.
- Die Fadenspannung etwas geringer wählen als beim Nähgarn, das Garn ist weicher.
- Erst einen Probestreifen auf demselben Stoff nähen und dann nachstellen.
- Spulen stehend und vor Licht geschützt lagern; ein Netz verhindert das Abwickeln.
Available in more colours in the Trojalock Overlockgarn series.
Frequently asked questions
Must all threads share one colour?
No. The needle threads decide what shows along the seam; a neutral tone may run in the loopers. That saves time at colour changes and looks barely different on the finished piece.
Which colour do I pick when I cannot match the fabric?
When unsure, take the slightly darker option. On a neatened edge a thread that is too light shows at once, while a darker one disappears into the cloth and stays discreet.
Does it suit rolled hems?
Yes, particularly. On a rolled hem the looper thread lies visible along the edge, so here the colour decides the look rather than just the function.
How far does one cone go?
The large cones are built to survive several projects. How fast they empty depends on how many edges you neaten and how many threads you run.
