Frequently Asked Questions
Lilac or Amethyst — the purple Glide pair?
Saturation: Lilac is the soft floral light purple, Amethyst the rich jewel tone. Pastel and spring purples take Lilac; saturated royal and jewel fabrics take Amethyst — the same light/deep split as the pink and blue pairs.
How does it relate to Wild Lavender Omni?
The finish fork in the purple family — Wild Lavender is the matte grey-cast lavender for tonal invisibility; Lilac is the lustrous clear purple for quilting meant to shimmer. Adjacent tones, opposite intents.
Its garden-quilt role?
The floral-motif thread — feathers and blossom fills in Lilac over soft purple grounds read as the flowers they depict; spring garden quilts are its natural habitat.
On Amelia Purple Bella?
A gentle step light — elegant tonal contrast rather than invisible blending; deliberate softness that suits romantic designs.
Bobbin pairing?
A matched light purple, or White Magna-Glide under pale backs — keep the underside in the soft register.
