Frequently Asked Questions
Tuscany Bleached or Heirloom Bleached cotton — the white-cotton fork?
Fiber grade — Tuscany's longer-staple select cotton needles softer and hands finer; Heirloom is the standard tier. Competition and heirloom whites justify the Tuscany premium; utility whites don't need it.
Why is it the white wholecloth spec?
The genre demands both of Tuscany's strengths at once — maximum batting brightness so the white reads luminous, and maximum needle-ease so thousands of dense stitches stay fine and even.
The 2" distance — constraint or feature?
Feature in this tier — pure cotton needs close quilting anyway, and the projects buying Tuscany (dense feathers, fills, trapunto-style work) quilt far closer than 2" by design.
Full-sandwich brightness system?
Bleached Tuscany + white backing + 451 Blizzard or 401 Snow So Fine! — optically consistent white at every layer, the competition-white formula.
Bleached or Unbleached Tuscany?
The top's value, as always — this under whites and brights; the Unbleached under reproduction naturals where cream is the point.
