Frequently Asked Questions

Why do quilters love Glide thread?

Consistent tension, almost no lint, a beautiful subtle sheen, and a color range with matching prewound bobbins — it runs smoothly at longarm speeds and in home machines alike.

What is special about Magna-Glide bobbins?

A magnetic core delivers consistent tension from the first stitch to the last and prevents backlash in longarm machines — no more loose thread nests as the bobbin empties.
