Fil-Tec Glide is a 40 wt trilobal polyester thread made for sewing, quilting, and embroidery. Special technology captures a beautiful luster within the fibers of a colorfast polyester, giving Glide a rich sheen with the durability of polyester. Fil-Tec invites you to compare Glide colors to your favorite polyester or rayon thread. Glide's Advanced Trilobal Technology keeps tension consistent throughout every spool, for high-quality stitch formation, fewer thread breaks, and fewer machine stops. It also offers uniform, complete coverage, so embroidery fills and quilting designs look smooth and the thread appears to melt into the fabric. Glide runs virtually lint-free through your machine's needle and tensioners, too. Use Glide on longarm and domestic machines for edge-to-edge quilting, free-motion and ruler work, machine embroidery, and decorative topstitching. Its sheen makes quilting designs stand out on solids and tone-on-tone fabrics, and it's colorfast, so the color holds up on quilts that will be used and washed.
