Glide embroidery thread has the ability to maintain consistent thread tension, which is the most important variable to quality & efficient production. The Advanced Trilobal Technology maintains tension throughout each & every spool. The results are high quality, consistent embroidery stitch formation, fewer thread breaks & fewer machine stops. You want high shine? Glide uses special technology to capture one of the most beautiful lusters that you have ever seen in a polyester thread - the sheen rivals even that of most rayon threads. The consistent stitch quality will keep your embroidery machines running longer between breaks - not to mention virtually lint-free (this means less maintenance issues, too!) The best part? Glide thread is made in America. That's right - it's made right here in the USA.
