The Deep Dark Purple Bobbin
Magna-Glide Delights 42607 Raven serves the deep purple and near-black purple fabric category — specifically eggplant, very dark aubergine, and deep purple fabrics where a black bobbin can appear to have an incorrect undertone on the quilt back. Raven integrates on these fabrics with the same warm dark-purple quality that the fabric itself possesses. It pairs naturally under the darkest purple top threads like Glide 46525 Prune, Glide 40836 Wild Plum, and Glide 42685 Concord.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just use a black bobbin on eggplant backing?
Black reads dead-neutral against a living dark purple — any tension poke shows as a flat black dot on warm aubergine. Raven shares the fabric's purple base, so minor imperfections disappear into the backing.
What's the difference between the Raven bobbin and Prune thread?
They occupy nearly the same near-black purple position — Raven as the pre-wound bobbin, Prune as the top thread. Pairing the two gives seamless front-and-back colour on the darkest purple quilts.
What top threads pair best with the Raven bobbin?
Dark purple tops like Prune, Wild Plum, Concord, and Raisin integrate cleanly. It also hides well under jewel-tone tops on dark purple backings across dramatic and gothic-palette production.
