The Polished Silver Grey
Glide 10004 Silver Grey is the cool, slightly luminous grey of polished silver — a grey with genuine metallic character. For elegant formal quilts, holiday silver palette designs, and any application where grey should feel as refined and slightly precious as the metal itself. It pairs with the pale shimmer of Glide 17545 Starlight, while Glide 14735 Pewter and Glide 25663 Gun Metal extend the metallic grey family into its darker registers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Glide 10004 Silver Grey actually look metallic?
It's not a metallic thread — there's no foil or wrap — but Glide's trilobal polyester sheen gives Silver Grey a genuine polished-metal lustre in stitching. It delivers a silver effect with none of the breakage and shredding issues true metallic threads bring to dense quilting.
How does Silver Grey differ from Starlight?
Starlight is the palest silvery-white shimmer, while Silver Grey is a clear step deeper into true grey. On white-silver and frost fabrics Starlight blends better; on genuine silver, pale metallic-look, and elegant grey fabrics, Silver Grey is the accurate match.
What bobbin thread pairs best with Silver Grey?
The matching Magna-Glide Delights bobbin in Silver Grey keeps formal quilts consistent front and back. Under white or pale grey backings, a Starlight or white bobbin also hides cleanly across elegant holiday production.
