The 30532 Eclipse Glide Polyester Thread — 5,500 yards King Spool is a deep, near-black blue-black longarm quilting thread from Hab+Dash. Eclipse is so dark that it reads as near-black in most quilting applications, yet maintains a subtle blue quality that makes it distinctly richer and more complex than pure black thread. It’s the choice for dramatic, moody quilts where pure black might feel flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Eclipse differ from Black (11001) Glide?
Eclipse is a near-black blue — it reads as essentially black in most conditions but has a subtle blue quality that adds richness and complexity. On very dark navy or black fabrics, Eclipse blends beautifully; on lighter fabrics, it reads as dramatic dark thread with a slight cool blue cast.
When would I choose Eclipse over Black?
Choose Eclipse when the quilt has very dark blue, indigo, or near-black fabric content where a subtle blue-black thread blends more naturally than pure black. It’s also a sophisticated choice for dramatic modern quilts where you want near-black thread with depth.
Is Eclipse suitable for wholecloth quilting on black or very dark fabric?
Yes — Eclipse on black or near-black fabric creates a barely-visible dimensional effect from the Glide sheen, producing elegant texture without any color contrast.
What bobbin pairs best with Eclipse?
A black or very dark navy Magna-Glide bobbin provides the best match. On dark backings, the slight color difference between Eclipse and black is imperceptible.
Does Eclipse work well as a production thread for dark modern quilts?
Yes — for studios that regularly quilt very dark modern quilts, Eclipse provides a thread that handles near-black, deep navy, and dark charcoal backing fabrics with tonal blending that pure black sometimes can’t achieve.
