Frequently Asked Questions
Stained Glass or Magic Carpet?
Both live in the jewel register; Stained Glass reads brighter and more multi-hued — the light-through-glass effect — while Magic Carpet leans richer and more opulent. On stained-glass-pattern quilts and bright batiks, 5011 is the literal match; on deep exotic palettes, 5003 sits better.
What's the classic use for Stained Glass thread?
Quilting inside stained-glass and cathedral-window patterns, where black 'leading' fabric frames vivid patches — the multi-jewel repeat lets one cone echo every pane. It's equally at home on rainbow batiks and bold art quilts.
How do I keep a bold multi from overwhelming the quilt?
Confine it: use Stained Glass in the coloured areas and switch to a matched solid (or fine black) in borders and background. Bold variegates work best as accents with room to shine, not as the all-over default.
