With Cherry Blossom you get a tone between red and white — delicate, but not pale. Colour number 0082, weight 100, 500 m of yardage: the three figures that find this tone again later. The thread is evenly twisted and therefore runs through your machine without jerking.
Meant equally for clothing, bags and home textiles — this thread is tuned to the domestic machine rather than to a special case. A sewing thread from Amann that stands in your box before you need it — that is what Troja is for.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Kirschblüte is suitable for
- bags, pouches and cushion covers
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- patchwork and quilting
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.
Available in more colours in the Amann Troja Nähgarn series.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sew jersey with it?
Yes, but with a stretch stitch. The thread itself does not stretch; the give has to come from the stitch, otherwise your seam bursts at the first firm pull.
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.
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.
What is this thread made of?
It is a synthetic sewing thread, evenly twisted and therefore resilient. Unlike pure cotton it does not lose strength along a seam when washed often.
