Frequently Asked Questions
- How many colors are on the Glide color card?
- The Glide thread line includes hundreds of colors. The color card includes samples of the full current Glide collection. Check the product listing for the exact color count on the current edition of the card.
- Why is a physical color card better than ordering from screen images?
- Thread color on a computer or phone screen is heavily influenced by monitor calibration, ambient light, and image processing. Physical thread samples show you the true color and sheen of the thread in real light, which is especially important for neutral and near-neutral thread colors that look similar on screen but are clearly distinct in person.
- Does the color card show the Glide sheen accurately?
- Yes — the physical thread samples capture Glide’s characteristic trilobal sheen that sets it apart from matte threads. You can see how the thread catches the light in your studio environment.
- Can I use the color card to choose bobbin thread colors?
- Yes — Magna-Glide Delights bobbin jars are available in the same color numbers as Glide king spools. Use the color card to select a matching bobbin color for tonal quilting or a contrasting color for design work.
- Does the color card expire or become outdated?
- Hab+Dash occasionally adds new Glide colors. An older color card will still be accurate for all colors it includes, but a newer edition may add recently released colors. Check with Linda’s Electric Quilters for the most current edition.
