Conversion Notes

Madeira 1703 is an exact match with the added benefit of Madeira's slight thread sheen, which can subtly enhance the perceived depth of this color on linen grounds — making 501's shadow-anchoring role feel even more convincing. For Chatelaine and Teresa Wentzler designs that make heavy use of the 501-503 family, Madeira is a sound alternative source when DMC is unavailable or out of stock.
