Here is the link to the Glide page on Bobbin Central's website. They also sell embroidery thread. There was a tab at the top for quilting thread.

Glide is a trilobal polyester thread that can be used for machine embroidery or quilting.

Trilobal polyester thread of 40wt is used for both embroidery machines and long arm machines. I have seen the only difference is the size of the cone (yardage of thread)

I actually used a floriani embroidery thread to quilt a quilt once it was the perfect color and I had a full spool...not so much when I was done though.....

BTW, side note, I picked up some glide black....and have to say it is the most luminous black I have ever seen, I really cant wait to get it on fabric to see how it does.
