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.
