Top 10 Questions About 60343 Christmas Pine Glide Thread

Is Christmas Pine the go-to holiday green in the Glide line?: Yes — Christmas Pine (60343) is specifically formulated for holiday green backing fabrics with its cool, blue-influenced deep evergreen character. It is the first green choice for Christmas quilt production on the classic deep evergreen backing fabrics used in holiday quilts.

How does Christmas Pine differ from Totem Green (60350) and Irish Spring (60335)?: Christmas Pine has a cool, blue-influenced evergreen character; Totem Green is earthy and more broadly applicable; Irish Spring is vivid and bright. For specifically holiday Christmas tree green, Christmas Pine provides the most precise match of the three.
Is Christmas Pine appropriate for year-round forest and nature quilts?: Yes — the cool deep evergreen of Christmas Pine also works for forest, woodland, and nature quilts on backing fabrics with a cool pine-influenced deep green quality.
What bobbin thread pairs with Christmas Pine?: A green Magna-Glide Delights bobbin jar provides the best tonal back match for deep Christmas green backing fabrics, maintaining green color consistency on both sides of the finished quilt.
