Frequently Asked Questions
Why is White the #1 thread in the store?
Most longarm studios use more white than every other color combined — it blends on white, off-white, and light tops, letting the quilting design read through texture and shadow rather than color contrast.
Should I use White Glide over cream batting?
White over cream batting creates a subtle warm-cool mismatch. If you want the thread to fully disappear on a natural-toned quilt, 10WG1 Linen or 20001 Cream match the batting tone better.
What does the Glide sheen do for pantographs?
The luster catches light along the stitching line, so edge-to-edge patterns read clearly across the surface without the thread overpowering the fabric.
Why does lint-free matter on a longarm?
Filament polyester leaves almost no residue in the tension system and bobbin area — cleaner running and less maintenance than cotton at production speeds.
How much quilting is on a king spool?
About 6–10 queen quilts of moderate density — dense custom work uses meaningfully more per quilt.
