Frequently Asked Questions
- New Navy Grunge or Navy Bella Solids?
- Texture versus smoothness: Grunge adds visible organic depth; Bella is the precise flat classic. Modern and textural quilts want Grunge; traditional flag-crisp designs want Bella. Both read confidently navy.
- What does "new" navy mean in practice?
- A half-step brighter than old-school near-black navy — it keeps graphic punch under bright modern palettes where a very deep navy would read as black in photos.
- What thread on textured navy?
- 15315 Smoke Glide or matching navy for tonal work; 10000 or 10002 White Glide for crisp graphic linework on the dark ground.
- Navy Grunge binding?
- A structured frame with subtle life — the texture keeps the dark edge from reading flat, a small upgrade that shows on close inspection.
- Print coordination?
- It's the natural solid-role companion for navy-ground prints — reinforcing the print's blue while the texture adds compositional richness between print blocks.
