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.
