Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use Celery instead of a white thread?
Whenever the fabric carries a green cast — pale sage, celadon, and spring-green pastels show white stitching as visibly pale lines. Celery shares the tint and blends where white sits on top.
Is Celery a good thread for gender-neutral baby quilts?
Yes — soft green is a staple neutral nursery palette, and the fine #50 weight keeps quilting supple on flannels through years of washing.
What bobbin pairs best with So Fine! 449 Celery?
A fine pale green polyester bobbin — Bottom Line in celery, or a Celery pre-wound on pale green backings — keeps both faces quiet at balanced tension.
