Dark Apricot sits warm in the room. As topstitching on denim it is one of the classic moves. 500 m at weight 100 — enough for several garments. Colour number 0122. On sturdy fabrics your stitch length may sit a little longer so the seam does not pucker.
For assembling as much as for topstitching: at weight 100 your seam lies flat and adds no bulk. Even thickness over the whole length — that is how you recognise a good sewing thread, and Troja keeps to it. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Dunkelapricot is suitable for
- repairs on existing seams
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- 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
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.
Does the seam take hot washing?
Yes. The thread is colourfast and copes with usual wash temperatures. What decides is your fabric: wash the piece as its material allows, not as the thread could.
Does this thread fit every sewing machine?
In the usual domestic machines yes. The spool sits on the normal pin; with a vertical pin a felt disc underneath helps the thread feed evenly.
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.
