625 Black — The Essential Dark Invisible Thread
Bottom Line 625 Black is the complement to Lace White (621) — together, these two colours form the core of every Bottom Line studio. Black provides invisible or near-invisible stitching on dark, black, charcoal, and near-black fabric quilts. As a bobbin thread, it eliminates any thread show-through on dark quilt backs. As a top thread, it enables invisible stitching on the full range of dark-fabric quilts. Continuously stocked in every serious longarm studio — the fine bobbin partner under dark tops like Glide 10426 Pepper, with 622 Gray covering charcoal fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does dark production need a fine black bobbin?
Dark backings show every tension poke as a light dot when the bobbin is pale — black Bottom Line eliminates the problem entirely, and the fine 60wt minimises visible needle holes on dense dark fills.
What tops pair with Black in the bobbin?
Black and near-black So Fine! and Glide tops for full invisibility, and any dark top on black backings — it's the standard configuration alongside black batting for dark quilts.
Does 625 Black work on Halloween and cosmic quilts?
Perfectly — dark seasonal and night-sky quilts are its home territory, keeping busy dark prints clean on both faces while stars and motifs carry the design.
