The Hab+Dash Polyester Thread Color Card (Glide) is the official physical color reference card for the complete Glide 40wt polyester thread line — providing wound thread samples of every Glide color on a single reference card for accurate color matching against backing fabric at the studio or shop floor. The Color Card eliminates the guesswork of choosing Glide thread colors from a digital screen and allows customers to match thread to backing fabric in person with actual thread samples.
Top 10 Questions About the Glide Thread Color Card
- Why use a physical color card over digital references?

- Does the Color Card include all Glide colors?
- The Glide Color Card includes the complete current Glide color range. As new colors are added to the Glide line, updated Color Cards are released.
- Is the Color Card useful for customer consultations?
- Yes — for longarm studios consulting with customers on thread color selection for backing fabrics, the physical Color Card is the most reliable and professional tool for the conversation.
- How are the colors organized on the card?
- The Glide Color Card organizes colors by color family (whites/neutrals, greys, warm greys, reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, purples, browns) for easy navigation.
- Is the Color Card appropriate as a studio reference tool?
- Yes — many production studios keep the Color Card at the machine for quick thread selection during loading without searching through the thread rack.
- Can the Color Card be used for backing fabric shopping?
- Yes — quilters can bring the Color Card fabric shopping to identify which Glide thread will match fabrics they are considering for quilt backings.
- How do I care for the Color Card?
- Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Store flat or in a protective sleeve.
