Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the full grey bench run eleven shades across two guides?
Grey garments are embroidery's most common canvas and greys are undertone-merciless — warm Country Gray on a cool slate hoodie reads brown. Eleven steps across warm/cool and light/charcoal mean the logo always sits in the garment's own grey.
How do I shade metal and stone effects?
Step a cool lane: 485 Gray → 486 Slate → 489 Charcoal renders steel and shadow; swap the light step warm (484 Country) for weathered stone and barnwood. Grey trios do for hard surfaces what green trios do for leaves.
Which extended grey earns permanent stock?
489 Charcoal — the near-black that softens designs black would harden, and the exact match for the charcoal athleisure garments that dominate current embroidery blanks.
