Frequently Asked Questions

Linen, White, or Cream — how do I pick?

Linen is the organic in-between: warmer than white, slightly more beige than cream. It's the match for natural cotton battings, unbleached muslin, and reproduction backgrounds where white reads stark and cream reads yellow.

Why do studios keep Linen loaded as a default?

Alongside White, it covers the majority of client quilts — nearly everything in the warm-neutral range blends with Linen, which is why it runs #3 in store sales.

Does it work on batiks?

On warm, earthy batik palettes, yes — the linen tone sinks into busy prints instead of competing with them.

What happens on darker tops?

It shows as a light, warm line — a deliberate contrast choice that can add beautiful visual texture when you want visible stitching on medium-dark fabric.

How far does a king spool go?

Roughly 6–10 queen quilts at pantograph density; dense custom designs consume more.
