Frequently Asked Questions
- Is CG7 the essential second grey for modern production studios?
- Yes — alongside CG3, CG7 forms the complete two-thread grey production pair. CG3 covers light grey; CG7 covers medium through medium-dark grey. Together they handle virtually all standard grey backing fabrics in modern production.
- What fabrics does CG7 complement?
- Medium to medium-dark cool grey, standard medium grey, and any backing in the clean cool grey range above CG3. CG7 is the go-to grey when CG3 reads too light for the specific backing fabric.
- When should I switch from CG3 to CG7?
- When the backing fabric reads as clearly medium or deeper grey rather than light grey. A quick visual test: if CG3 would be noticeably lighter than the fabric, switch to CG7.
- What bobbin pairs with CG7?
- A medium grey Classic bobbin or the WG3 Magna-Glide Delights jar provides a reasonable tonal back match for medium grey backing fabrics.
- Should I stock CG7 as my second grey investment?
- Yes — after CG3, CG7 is the most important grey to add. The CG3/CG7 pair covers the large majority of all grey backing fabrics encountered in production.
