You can also get it at Bobbin Central. Minimum order is $50.
They also sell Cairo Quilt, which is a great lower cost alternative that is comparable to Aurifil. http://www.bobbincentral.com/quilting/top-thread/glide.html |
What beautiful vibrant colors!!

Timing is perfect! I just saw that Metroemb.com was selling it...I had never seen that brand before. It is new for them. How does it compare to the Sigma and Metro brands?

Bobbin Central is Fil-Tec and they have changed to wholesale only unless you were a pre-existing customer when they switched. Glide is a good thread.

Just wanted to add that I did order some from Metro and they said it was shipped yesterday; got it today. Wow, can you say SERVICE. I say excellent service. (I just paid regular shipping; 3 days). Now I have another question. I love to quilt with it, but can I also piece with it? I just want to use it so badly. lol. Or do I just stay with cotton?

Glide a bit heavy for piecing with so you may find your patchwork will not line up properly due to the thread taking up room in the seam allowance Glide, being a poly, is a very slippery thread so if you chain piece it is highly likely that some of your stitching will come undone when you cut apart you chained units Finally this is JMHO but Glide is such a pretty thread why hide it away in your seam allowance. |
The cheapest and the fastest delivery I have found in Quilts complete. I ordered three days ago and got it this morning. They are awesome to work with.....
