Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need four grey thread colors?
- Different grey fabrics require different grey threads for natural blending. Light grey backs need a light thread; dark charcoal backs need Smoke or darker. Having all four gives you the right grey for every quilt without blending issues.
- What is the progression from lightest to darkest in this pack?
- Light Grey (17543) is the softest and lightest; Cool Grey 3 (10CG3) is a medium cool grey; Bone/Linen (10WG1) bridges warm neutral and grey; Smoke (15315) is the deepest, closest to charcoal in this group.
- Is this pack good for a studio that quilts mostly modern quilts?
- Yes — modern quilts frequently feature grey palettes, and this pack covers the full range. Cool Grey 3 and Smoke are particularly popular for modern and art quilts.
- Can I mix greys within a single quilt?
- Yes — some quilters use a lighter grey for the quilt top quilting and a slightly darker grey in the bobbin on the backing, or change greys between sections of a complex quilt. Having all four makes this possible.
- Are individual greys available for restocking?
- Yes — all four grey Glide colors are available as individual king spools at Linda’s Electric Quilters.
