Frequently Asked Questions
When is Pacific the right bobbin instead of Navy?
When the backing is a deep but clearly vivid blue — ocean batiks, royal-deep solids, and Pacific-palette fabrics make a Navy bobbin read flat dark at tension pokes. Reserve Navy for genuinely dark suiting-navy fabric.
Is Pacific a good bobbin for ocean batik quilts?
Yes — water batiks live in the vivid deep-blue band, and Pacific integrates across their shifting saturation where both Bright Blue and Navy would flag at the extremes.
What top threads pair best with the Pacific bobbin?
Vivid deep blues like Ultra Marine and Grotto Blue integrate cleanly, and it anchors multi-colour ocean tops on deep blue backings without bobbin changes between colours.
