Frequently Asked Questions
Optic White or Natural muslin?
Purely the front's temperature — optic white behind bright modern and white-palette quilts; natural cream behind traditional and reproduction work. A cream back under a bright white front reads dingy at the binding.
Why do studios stock it as the value white backing?
It delivers a clean bright reverse at muslin pricing — the recommendation when a client wants white on the back without paying Bella or Grunge wideback rates.
What bobbin on optic white?
401 Snow So Fine! or 10000 White Glide — the optically bright ground shows any warm-toned thread, so match brightness with brightness.
Why bleached batting underneath?
Under a bright white top and back, a cream batting shadows both directions — bleached batting keeps the whole sandwich reading one clean white.
How does quilting show on it?
Maximally — bright white is the least forgiving and most rewarding backing for stitch definition; tension should be dialed before running a client quilt over it.
