Machine and needle guidance
Set the cone up for a smooth, direct feed
Saba 120 is a fine garment thread for suitable industrial machines and many domestic machines. The difference is the cone: this 5,000m format should feed vertically from an industrial thread stand or a stable external cone stand, not from a small horizontal spool pin.
Cone standPosition the cone upright and guide the thread from directly above so it unwinds smoothly.
NeedleFit a fresh needle suited to the fabric. Do not use a needle finer than the official minimum.
Test seamSew on folded scrap fabric and balance the top and bobbin tensions before starting.
- AMANN lists Nm 65 / size 9 as the minimum needle size.
- Choose the needle point and actual size for the fabric, seam bulk and machine system.
- Confirm that the thread enters the first machine guide without snagging or pulling sideways.
- Wind the bobbin evenly and check that the top and bobbin tensions are balanced.
- Clean the tension path, feed dogs and bobbin area regularly.

AMANN Saba 120 FAQs
Is Saba 120 suitable for a domestic sewing machine?
The thread size is suitable for many domestic machines, but this 5,000m cone needs a stable external cone stand and a smooth overhead feed. Follow the sewing-machine manufacturer's guidance for cone use.
Is it polyester or cotton?
Official AMANN specifications identify Saba as polyester/polyester core-spun thread.
What does Ticket 120 mean?
Ticket 120 is the thread size. For this Saba article it corresponds to Tex 24, a fine garment-sewing thread.
Which needle should I use?
AMANN lists Nm 65 / size 9 as the minimum. Select the actual needle size and point according to the fabric, seam bulk and your machine system.
Can I use it in both the needle and bobbin?
Yes, it can be used as a regular sewing thread in both paths on compatible machines. Wind the bobbin evenly and test the tension balance.
Is it suitable for jeans topstitching?
It creates neat, fine topstitching. Choose a much heavier thread such as Saba 30 when you want the bold appearance associated with traditional jeans seams.
How much thread is supplied?

How many variants are listed?
There are currently 15 variants. Choose the required colour name or colour code on the product page before ordering.
