Thread Colour Cards and Fan Decks
Thread colour cards and fan decks are the reference tools that make confident thread selection possible — physical samples of every thread colour in a line, allowing you to hold the actual thread against your fabric to find the perfect match before ordering.
Fil-Tec Hab+Dash Polyester Thread Color Card — Glide
The Fil-Tec colour card for Glide 40wt polyester thread — physical wound thread samples of every Glide colour, organised by colour family. An essential reference tool for longarm studios that stock Glide thread or take custom thread-colour orders for customers. Instead of guessing from a printed chart or screen display, hold the actual wound thread sample next to the fabric to confirm the match.
Signature Cotton Thread Fan Deck
American & Efird's Signature Cotton thread fan deck provides wound samples of the full Signature Cotton thread colour range in a convenient flip-card format. Essential for hand quilters, home machine quilters, and longarm studios that carry Signature Cotton thread for projects where cotton thread is specified.
Why Physical Colour References Matter
Thread colour on a computer screen or printed page is an approximation — ambient lighting, monitor calibration, and print process all introduce colour shifts. A physical colour card shows the actual thread in actual daylight or studio lighting, confirming the true colour. For production studios doing customer work, a colour card is a professional tool that reduces costly thread-colour errors.
