Superior So Fine Thread 402 Pearl Grey 50wt Polyester 3280 Yards

The Superior So Fine! Thread 402 Pearl Grey — 50wt Polyester 3,280 Yards is the soft light grey in Superior’s ultra-fine 50wt polyester longarm thread line. Pearl Grey is the companion to Snow White (401) for modern grey-backed quilts where the same ultra-fine 50wt thread fineness is desired with a neutral grey tonal match rather than a stark white.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Pearl Grey preferred over Snow White?

When quilting on light grey, silver-grey, or any backing fabric where white would be slightly too bright or cool. Pearl Grey provides a subtle, barely-visible tonal match for light grey backing fabrics — especially valuable in So Fine!’s ultra-fine weight where the goal is maximum invisibility of the quilting line.

Is 402 the right grey for modern quilts?

For modern quilts with light grey backing requiring So Fine!’s delicate stitch presence, Pearl Grey is the essential companion to Snow White. Together they provide So Fine! coverage for the two most common modern quilt backing tones.

How does 402 relate to Glide’s grey series?

Pearl Grey in So Fine! serves the same purpose as CG3 in Glide — the go-to light grey for modern quilts — but in the finer 50wt format.

What bobbin works with So Fine! Pearl Grey?

A light grey or white fine-weight bobbin. Superior’s MicroQuilter bobbins are recommended for optimal So Fine! performance.

Is So Fine! 402 available in the same 3,280-yard format as 401?

Yes — both Snow White and Pearl Grey are available in the same 3,280-yard spool format.
