Top 10 Questions About 10536 Silver Glide Thread
Q: What makes Silver different from other grey Glide colors?

Q: What weight is Silver Glide?
A: 40-weight filament polyester with Glide's signature luster — the professional standard for longarm machine quilting.
Q: What fabrics work best with Silver Glide?
A: Grey, silver, cool white, blue-grey, and any modern or contemporary quilt top where a bright silver stitch adds dramatic visual interest to the quilting design.

A: It is an excellent choice — the silver luster adds a sophisticated, contemporary dimension to modern quilts with grey or neutral backgrounds.
Q: Does Silver Glide work on both dark and light quilts?
