The glide is a 40wt that quilts like a much lighter weight thread and uses a size 14 needle. I will definitely be buying more of this thread.
I'm not sure the weight of the Mettler Metrosene it says No. 100 on the spool. I have some of the Glide but have only used it for practice, it has a sheen so haven't had a quilt I thought it would work well on as of yet. With the Mettler I used a 16 needle. Did you have to retime your Innova to use the 14 needle? If I remember right from class in Houston, Carrie said if you go up or down two needle sizes that you would need to retime the machine. My machine is now making the most beautiful stitches after I had problems for what seemed forever. I took the tension back to factory setting and started over and that seemed to work. Do you use the magnaglide bobbins? I got some samples from Heidi and like the stitch, no tension problems.
