COLOR _ Glide is able to duplicate the look of rayon. Testing has proven that a Glide color matched to a conventional rayon thread will produce the same rayon luster in the finished piece (see example above.)
ELONGATION _ Glide is the only polyester thread with the same low elongation of rayon (see elongation chart.) Low elongation is what prevents rayon from forming loop faults so common to conventional polyester threads.
PRODUCT VARIATION _ Glide is a very consistent product with regards to elongation and surface friction. This means you can change colors without having to make the usual tension adjustments when sewing with conventional polyester threads. |
