Frequently Asked Questions

The cool-dark trio — Flint, Graphite, or Navy?

By where the fabric falls between grey and blue: pure dark greys take Graphite, true navies take Navy, and the wide slate/steel/denim band between them takes Flint. It's the missing middle of the cool darks.

Why is Flint the denim thread?

Washed and medium denim is exactly blue-grey — Flint blends where Navy reads too blue and Graphite too flat, which is why denim-look quilts and Jeans Cuddle backings specify it.

The Jeans system at Linda's?

Jeans Cuddle 3 or Luxe Hide Jeans on the back, Flint on top — the matched cool blue-grey build, the denim counterpart to the Bluebell/Periwinkle pairing.

Flint or Smoke on a dark grey?

Undertone — the warm/cool fork of the darks: warm charcoals take Smoke, cool slate-blues take Flint. Hold both against the fabric and one recedes.

Bobbin pairing?

CG3 Magna-Glide — the cool jar — under grey backs; a matched denim blue under Jeans Cuddle.
