Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need four grey thread colors?: Different grey fabrics require different grey threads for natural blending. Light grey backs need a light thread; dark charcoal backs need Smoke or darker. Having all four gives you the right grey for every quilt without blending issues.
What is the progression from lightest to darkest in this pack?: Light Grey (17543) is the softest and lightest; Cool Grey 3 (10CG3) is a medium cool grey; Bone/Linen (10WG1) bridges warm neutral and grey; Smoke (15315) is the deepest, closest to charcoal in this group.
Is this pack good for a studio that quilts mostly modern quilts?: Yes — modern quilts frequently feature grey palettes, and this pack covers the full range. Cool Grey 3 and Smoke are particularly popular for modern and art quilts.
Can I mix greys within a single quilt?: Yes — some quilters use a lighter grey for the quilt top quilting and a slightly darker grey in the bobbin on the backing, or change greys between sections of a complex quilt. Having all four makes this possible.
Are individual greys available for restocking?: Yes — all four grey Glide colors are available as individual king spools at Linda’s Electric Quilters.
