Fil-Tec Glide 10CG9 Cool Grey 9 Thread: The Darkest Cool Grey for Near-Charcoal Quilts

The Deepest Cool Grey

At the 9 position in the Cool Grey series, Glide 10CG9 Cool Grey 9 is the deepest cool grey available -- a near-charcoal that reads as very dark grey without being black. For the darkest cool-grey fabrics where Cool Grey 7 still reads as slightly lighter than the background, Cool Grey 9 provides the precise near-charcoal integration that these dark fabrics require. It is also the thread for any design where grey should be as dark and dramatic as possible without using true black.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cool Grey 9 or black thread on charcoal fabric?

Stitch a test line of each: black usually sits visibly darker than charcoal fabric and outlines the quilting, while CG9 melts in. Reserve black for true black fabrics.

How is CG9 different from Shadow or Storm in the BLK series?

CG9 is a blue-leaning cool near-charcoal; Shadow and Storm are neutral-to-warm near-blacks. On cool grey fabrics CG9 integrates; on warm charcoals the BLK series does.

Which bobbin pairs with Cool Grey 9?

Match it -- a dark grey Magna-Glide Delights bobbin keeps pokies invisible on dark backings, and works under CG7 tops as well.
