Frequently Asked Questions

Black Omni or Black Glide?

Both true black 40wt; Omni is matte — tonal, invisible blending on dark fabric. Glide is lustered — shimmering, dimensional stitching that catches light. The finish is the entire decision.

What does black-on-black look like?

Texture, not line — the quilting reads through shadow and dimension. It's the standard approach for dark and gothic-themed quilts where stitching should deepen the fabric, not compete with it.

What about the bobbin?

Black in the bobbin for dark backings; a light neutral bobbin for light backings so the black top thread doesn't shadow through the back.

Why does lint-free matter more in black?

Lint is light-colored — on a dark quilt surface and in the machine it's immediately visible. Filament polyester eliminates the problem at the source.

Black on a light quilt?

Maximum-contrast graphic quilting — a legitimate modern design move, but only when visible lines are the intent.
