Frequently Asked Questions
- Aluminium or the Omni greys — the grey fiber fork?
- Philosophy again — 3023/3024 Omni are the wash-proof production greys; Aluminium is cotton for quilts committed to natural fiber throughout. Modern-traditional quilters (cotton solids, organic aesthetic) increasingly want the grey thread in cotton too.
- Its modern-quilt niche?
- The minimalist cotton movement — grey-on-grey quilting over cotton solids reads most organic in matte cotton; Aluminium is that genre's thread at 50wt fineness.
- One grey for the Aurifil kit?
- This is it — the balanced middle that blends across the light-to-medium grey range, the Aurifil analog of Medium Gray Omni's coverage role.
- Competition value?
- Cotton character plus 50wt fineness on grey grounds — the organic-refined combination cotton-category show quilts are judged in.
- Machine notes?
- 50wt tension, #16 needle, periodic lint brushing — the standing Aurifil setup.
