Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Titanium differ from Smoke (15315) and Eclipse (30532)?
- Smoke (15315) is a deep cool charcoal grey. Eclipse (30532) is a near-black blue-grey. Titanium (10431) has a specific blue-steel metallic quality — it reads as a dense, cool dark grey with a slight industrial blue tint. On very dark blue-grey fabrics, Titanium may blend better than either pure Smoke or Eclipse.
- What quilts is Titanium best suited for?
- Titanium is ideal for industrial-inspired modern quilts, quilts with blue-grey and slate fabric content, dramatic art quilts with dark metallic color stories, and any project where a dense, cool dark grey thread with slight blue quality adds sophistication.
- Is Titanium a production or specialty color?
- Specialty — Titanium is most useful for specific quilts with blue-grey, slate, or steel-toned dark fabric content. For general production dark quilting, Smoke (15315) or Black (11001) are more versatile.
- What bobbin pairs best with Titanium?
- A dark grey or black Magna-Glide bobbin provides the closest match on dark backing fabrics.
- Can Titanium function as a near-neutral on very dark modern quilts?
- Yes — on quilts with very dark grey-blue content, Titanium blends so naturally it functions almost as a neutral dark, providing subtle tonal texture without visible color contrast.
