Khaki stands on its own. As topstitching on natural fabrics it gives a contrast that never turns intrusive. 500 m at weight 100 — enough for several garments. Colour number 0650. On sturdy fabrics your stitch length may sit a little longer so the seam does not pucker.
This thread does not fray and runs quietly through the guides. Exactly that keeps long seams uneventful. 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 Khaki is suitable for
- bags, pouches and cushion covers
- hems on trousers and skirts
- alterations to shop-bought clothing
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.

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.
Why does my thread break?
Usually the thread is not at fault: a blunt needle, tension set too tight or a wrong threading path is. Change the needle first, then check the tension.
Can I mix different threads in one piece?
Better not within one seam. Different threads stretch differently, and your seam then pulls unevenly. Between two separate seams on the same piece it is no problem.
