Warm and full: Tangerine suits autumn projects as much as children's clothes that are allowed to be colourful. The spool holds 500 m. Weight 100 is the fineness domestic machines expect, and colour number 1401 sits on the spool base. The spool is sold singly, so you can top up one specific tone on purpose.
Troja has no place on an overlocker — softer overlock thread exists for that. In a sewing machine it is the obvious choice. Amann has made Troja in the same quality for a long time. Buy a spool again and you get the tone you got the first time.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Mandarine is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- 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.
Available in more colours in the Amann Troja Nähgarn series.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this thread on an overlocker?
Better not. Overlock thread is softer and finer so the edge adds no bulk, and it comes on larger cones. Sewing thread runs restlessly in an overlocker and builds bulk.
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.
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.
