A full Fir Green: the thread keeps a clean tone and holds its depth under artificial light too. Colour number 0759, weight 100, 500 m of yardage: the three figures that find this tone again later. On sturdy fabrics your stitch length may sit a little longer so the seam does not pucker.
From cotton fabrics to polyester blends the colour range covers most of what a fabric shop carries. Troja runs quietly through guides and needle eye. That spares your machine and keeps stitch formation even. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Tannengrün is suitable for
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- children's clothes washed often
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
Which needle suits this thread?
A universal needle in a medium size matches weight 100. For jersey take a ballpoint needle, for denim a jeans needle — the thread stays the same in both cases.
What stitch length is right?
For most fabrics it sits in the middle of your machine's range. The thicker the fabric, the longer the stitch — short stitches in thick material pucker a seam.
How do I match the tone of an old seam?
Through the colour number if you still have it. Otherwise lay the thread straight onto the seam in daylight — artificial light shifts colours more than people expect.
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.
