Top 10 Questions About 60350 Totem Green Glide Thread
- Where does Totem Green sit in the Glide green family?
- Totem Green is the deep, rich, earthy end of the green spectrum — deeper than Irish Spring (60335) and significantly deeper than Mint (60345). It fills the forest-to-hunter green production position, covering the richly saturated dark green backing fabrics that lighter greens cannot match.
- What backing fabrics does Totem Green complement best?
- Deep forest green, hunter green, rich saturated dark green, and any backing in the deep earthy green range. Totem Green is particularly effective on forest-palette fabric, hunter green solid backing, deeply dyed green batiks, and richly saturated green quilting cotton.
- Is Totem Green appropriate for nature and outdoor-themed quilts?
- Yes — deep forest green is central to nature, woodland, hunting, and outdoor-themed quilt palettes. Totem Green provides the authentic deep forest thread for these production themes.
- Is Totem Green appropriate for Christmas production?
- Yes — deep green is the essential Christmas palette color alongside red. For Christmas quilt production on deep green backing fabric, Totem Green provides a rich, authentic holiday green thread. For brighter or more yellow-green Christmas fabrics, Irish Spring may be a closer match.
- What bobbin thread pairs with Totem Green?
- A green Magna-Glide Delights bobbin jar provides the best tonal back match for deep green backing fabrics, maintaining green color consistency on both sides of the finished quilt.
- What weight and fiber is Totem Green?
- 40-weight 100% trilobal polyester. The trilobal construction gives Totem Green a jewel-like depth and sheen that enhances the richness of deeply saturated green backing fabrics.
- How does Totem Green compare to Christmas Pine (60343)?
- Christmas Pine (60343) has a specific cool, blue-green Christmas tree quality; Totem Green (60350) is more broadly applicable across the deep earthy green range including forest and hunter green fabrics that aren’t specifically Christmas-palette. For pure Christmas production, Christmas Pine is first choice; Totem Green covers a wider range of deep green production needs.
- Does Totem Green work on St. Patrick’s Day quilts?
- For deeper, more traditional green St. Patrick’s Day fabrics, yes. For bright, vivid Kelly green St. Patrick’s Day fabric, Irish Spring (60335) provides a more precisely vivid match.
- Should I stock Totem Green alongside Irish Spring?
- For complete green production coverage: Irish Spring covers vivid, bright medium green; Totem Green covers deep, rich, earthy dark green. Together they address the full green production spectrum from vivid medium through deep forest.
