Frequently Asked Questions
How does Flag Blue differ from Navy?
Navy is darker and more muted, while Flag Blue matches the specific Old Glory Blue of the American flag — deep but with more visible blue saturation. On flag panels and patriotic prints Flag Blue is the accurate match; on general dark blue fabrics, Navy blends better.
What's the complete patriotic thread palette?
Flag Blue for the field, Cardinal for the stripes, and white for the stars covers flag work precisely. For Quilts of Valor with a softer heritage feel, Cadet and a muted red substitute for the primary versions.
What bobbin thread pairs best with Flag Blue?
The matching Magna-Glide Delights bobbin in Flag Blue keeps flag quilts consistent front and back. Under navy backings, a Navy bobbin also hides well across patriotic production runs.
