Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the warm-neutral bench so deep?
Fur, hair, wood, skin, sand, and bread — the warm neutrals render more embroidered subject matter than any other family. A wildlife design alone can call for four tans; twenty-eight steps mean each element gets its own value.
Athletic Gold, Old Gold, or Goldenrod for team work?
525 Athletic Gold is the vivid sports-uniform gold spec'd in school logos; 523 Goldenrod runs softer and 524/563 Old Gold antique deeper. Team work should match the school's garment gold — always test-stitch.
How do I shade animal fur and hair?
Pick three or four adjacent tans and step them along the growth direction — 723 Birch → 735 Aztec Tan → 745 Harvest Brown covers most brown-fur animals, with 733 Sudan for shadow depth. Adjacent steps blend; skipped steps stripe.
