Frequently Asked Questions

- Admiral (30654) reads as a clean, bright-to-medium navy; Rock Navy (30001) is deeper and more classic; Captain Navy (30655) is slightly brighter still. Admiral is popular when you want a navy with more visual presence than Rock Navy but not as bright as Captain Navy.

- What backing fabrics does Admiral blend with?
- Admiral blends naturally on medium-to-dark navy and royal blue backings. On lighter blue backings, it provides visible definition without being too stark.
- What bobbin pairs best with Admiral?
- A navy or medium blue Magna-Glide bobbin provides the best tonal match for navy and blue backing fabrics.
- Can Admiral be used as a visible thread on white fabric?
