DMC 973 to Madeira: Thread Conversion

Madeira 0104 is close-rated rather than exact for DMC 973 — a notable downgrade from the typical Madeira conversion quality. Some stitchers report that Madeira 0104 sits between DMC 973 and DMC 307 (Lemon) in character, meaning it may not fully capture the peak saturation and electric brightness that defines Bright Canary. For designs where this thread's maximum intensity is the reason for using it, comparing the Madeira skein directly to DMC 973 before substituting is essential.
