Frequently Asked Questions
Is Glide Dodger a true match for official team-colour fabrics?
Dodger was matched to the classic vivid medium blue used across baseball and sports-licensed fabrics, so it blends into team-print backgrounds instead of reading slightly off the way a generic royal blue can. Always test a short line on your specific fabric — licensed prints vary slightly between manufacturers — but Dodger is the closest Glide colour to the iconic team blue.
What is the difference between Dodger and a royal blue thread?
Dodger is brighter and slightly lighter than a traditional royal blue, with a cleaner, more energetic cast. Royal blues lean deeper and slightly purple; Dodger keeps the crisp clarity that sports fabrics demand. If your fabric reads vivid rather than deep, Dodger is the better pick.
Can I use Dodger for both quilting and embroidery on fan gear?
Yes. Glide 40wt trilobal polyester was originally developed for commercial embroidery, so Dodger performs equally well quilting a fan quilt and stitching team lettering or logos on machine embroidery projects, with the same colour top to bottom via Magna-Glide pre-wound bobbins.
