Frequently Asked Questions

Iris Aurifil or Amethyst Glide — the jewel-purple fork?

The fiber-and-finish split — Amethyst's poly luster makes purple quilting gleam; Iris's matte cotton makes it read as woven-in botany. Show-drama takes the Glide; organic and traditional purples take this.

Its blue-violet slot?

The cotton neighbor of Periwinkle territory but deeper — iris fabric, hydrangea darks, and violet florals that make lighter purples read washed.

Garden-quilt role?

Quilting iris and violet prints in their own color in their own fiber — the stitching joins the botany; the all-cotton floral formula.

Competition value?

50wt fineness plus cotton character on purple grounds — the refined-organic combination judged categories reward.

Machine notes?

50wt tension, #16 needle, routine Aurifil lint brushing.
