The Production Standard Orange
Glide 91375 Tangerine is the Glide line's standard production orange — the clean, vivid, balanced orange that serves the broadest range of orange fabric applications. Named for tangerine citrus, it has the specific clear, fresh orange quality that makes it the most versatile production choice for orange-fabric quilts. Every studio doing seasonal production needs Tangerine in continuous stock, with Cantaloupe covering the softer melon end of the family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tangerine the right default for Halloween quilts?
Yes — it is the classic pumpkin-orange position and blends with the widest range of Halloween prints. If the fabric is a deeper burnt orange, Autumn or Spice Brown will read truer; for fluorescent Halloween novelty fabrics, step up to Neon Orange.
How does Tangerine compare to Blaze?
Tangerine is a pure balanced orange; Blaze shifts toward red-orange with a hotter, fire-toned character. Citrus, pumpkin, and standard orange fabrics call for Tangerine, while flame, sunset-red, and dramatic warm palettes call for Blaze.
What bobbin works under Tangerine for edge-to-edge work?
A matched Tangerine Magna-Glide bobbin for orange-backed quilts, or a warm tan/natural bobbin when the backing is neutral. Because Tangerine is a strong mid-value, backing mismatch shows less than with very light or very dark threads, making it forgiving in production.
