Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Bombay distinctive from standard navy blues in the Glide line?
Bombay has a teal-blue quality — a slight green undertone that sets it apart from the pure blue navies. It reads as an exotic, tropical dark blue that bridges the gap between navy and deep teal.
What quilt palettes does Bombay complement?
Bombay works beautifully on ocean, tropical, batik, and jewel-tone quilts featuring deep teal, ocean blue, and Pacific-blue fabrics. It’s also excellent for quilts featuring fabrics from tropical or Bohemian fabric collections.
Is Bombay too specialized for production studio use?
It depends on your clientele. Studios that quilt ocean, batik, and tropical-themed quilts frequently will find Bombay a useful production color. For more varied customer quilts, it’s a specialty thread for specific quilt types.
What bobbin pairs best with Bombay?
A dark teal, dark blue, or navy Magna-Glide bobbin provides a close tonal match. On neutral backings, grey or cream bobbins work acceptably.
Can Bombay be used for Hawaiian-style quilting?
Yes — Bombay on a tropical or ocean-toned background creates a richly colored quilting design that enhances the tropical aesthetic of Hawaiian and island-inspired quilt patterns.
