Thread

• We have a many of thread colors that we do not show online. If you would like us to try to match thread color to a specific fabric color, please pin it with a note, and we will get as close as we can
• Different monitors and screen settings may show colors differently, so choosing colors online can be difficult.  We do a color check, and if the thread color you chose just does not look right , we will contact you before we start quilting.
  
• We can use a different color thread on top and back.  If you choose different colors for top and back, add a comment when you check out, or put a note with the quilt when you send it to us.  There is no extra charge for this, but you may see small spots of the back thread color in the stitch holes on the front and vise-versa, very minor, but we need to mention it.
• Think about whether you want your thread to blend or contrast with your quilt top
  
• Blended thread can highlight the quilting pattern when combined with a high loft batting
• Contrasting thread can be distracting from the quilt top.
  
• Blended thread can become so blended that the quilting is lost in your top, and contrast thread can really compliment the quilt top by adding another color element.
• If your top has many different colors, consider a neutral color that takes on an almost chameleon color.

Mixed Material Projects

When working with mixed materials, things like fleece or minky backing with a cotton top or polyester and cotton quilting fabrics. The quilting results may not be what you expect. Different materials can stretch and contract at different rates while on the quilting frame. Results cannot be guaranteed in these scenarios
