Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes Garnet from Wine and Merlot?: Wine (45115) is a warm wine-red; Merlot (77421) is cooler with a blue-purple quality. Garnet (77427) is the deepest and most jewel-like — it reads as a true gemstone red with the richness and depth of a garnet mineral. All three are beautiful deep reds; Garnet is the most gem-quality of the three.
What quilts is Garnet best suited for?: Garnet is ideal for jewel-tone quilts combining emerald, sapphire, and garnet-red fabrics; Victorian and heirloom-inspired quilts; holiday quilts where a deep gem-red creates an elegant, formal palette; and any project where a rich, deeply saturated red thread adds sophistication.
Is Garnet a good thread for wholecloth quilting on deep red fabric?: Yes — Garnet on a deep red or jewel-tone wholecloth creates a luminous dimensional effect where Glide’s sheen enhances the gemstone quality of the color.
What bobbin pairs best with Garnet?: A deep red or dark burgundy Magna-Glide bobbin provides the best match. On neutral backings, grey or cream bobbins work acceptably.
Is Garnet a year-round thread?: Yes — while deeply associated with fall/winter jewel-tone palettes, Garnet works year-round for formal, traditional, and jewel-tone quilts at any time of year.
