402 Pearl So Fine! Polyester Thread from Superior Threads is a soft, luminous ivory-white in the premium 50-weight So Fine! line — a gently warm pearlescent white that creates the most refined, near-invisible stitching on pearl, ivory, and warm off-white quilt tops, providing competition-quality thread fineness for work on fabrics where Bright White or Snow would read as too stark or too cool.
Q: What shade is 402 Pearl So Fine!?
A: Pearl is a soft, luminous ivory-white with a warm, pearlescent quality — lighter than cream but warmer than bright white. It reads as the most refined, elegant soft-white in the So Fine! palette.
Q: When should I choose Pearl over Snow (401) So Fine!?
A: Choose Pearl when your fabric has a warm undertone — ivory, pearl-toned, off-white, or any fabric where Snow would read as slightly cool. Pearl's warm ivory character blends more naturally on warm-white fabrics.

A: 50-weight, 3-filament polyester with a matte finish. Lint-free, compatible with all major longarm machines with possible minor tension adjustment.

Q: Is Pearl So Fine! lint-free?

Q: Is Pearl compatible with all longarm machines?
A: Yes — all major longarm brands with possible minor tension adjustment for the 50-weight.
Q: Does Pearl So Fine! work in both top and bobbin?
A: Yes — using Pearl in both produces the most consistent warm-white result throughout the quilt sandwich.
Q: Does Pearl coordinate with Cream (20001) Glide top thread?
