Conversion Notes

Madeira 0509 is an exact match and delivers DMC 304's crimson tone with Madeira's characteristically smoother finish. Some stitchers find that Madeira's slight sheen enhances the richness of deep reds, making them appear marginally more saturated in finished pieces. For a Victorian sampler or historical design where the cool-crimson richness of DMC 304 is a virtue, Madeira's version may actually be preferable. For a contemporary geometric design where flat, matte color is the goal, stick with the DMC original.
