Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Lemon differ from Honey Gold and Bright Yellow?
- Honey Gold (80125) is a warm, golden amber-yellow. Bright Yellow (80108) is a standard vivid yellow. Lemon (80101) is the coolest and most citrus-like of the three — it has the slight blue-cool quality of lemon yellow that makes it brighter and more tart than warm golden yellows.
- What quilts suit Lemon thread?
- Lemon is excellent for spring and summer quilts with bright citrus fabrics, children’s quilts with primary yellow content, tropical and sunshine-themed designs, and any project where a fresh, bright, cool yellow thread adds energy.
- Can Lemon be used for wholecloth quilting on yellow fabric?
- Yes — Lemon on a bright yellow wholecloth creates a vivid tonal effect. The Glide sheen adds dimension while the color reinforces the sunny, cheerful quality of the design.
- What bobbin pairs best with Lemon?
- A bright yellow or warm tan Magna-Glide bobbin provides a close match. On neutral or light backings, cream bobbins work acceptably.
- Is Lemon appropriate for Easter and spring holiday quilts?
- Yes — Lemon is a popular spring thread, particularly for Easter quilts featuring chick yellow, daffodil, and other bright spring yellow fabrics.
