Angela Huffman's Favorite Glide Thread Colors: Two Curated Collections for Every Quilter

When you spend as much time quilting as Angela, you quickly learn which thread colors earn a permanent spot on your machine. Over the years, Angela has quilted thousands of quilts in every style imaginable. While fabrics and trends may change, one thing has remained constant, her love for Glide™ 40 wt. polyester thread.

Glide has a beautiful, subtle sheen that catches the light without overwhelming the quilt. Think of it like a classic pair of diamond earrings: elegant, timeless, and just enough sparkle to make your quilting stand out. Combined with its strength, low lint, and smooth performance on both longarm and domestic quilting machines, it's no wonder Glide has become one of Angela's favorite quilting threads.

Because certain colors kept finding their way onto her machine, Angela worked with Fil-Tec to create two specially curated collections that make building your thread stash easy.

Angela Huffman Essentials: Your Everyday Thread Collection

The Angela Huffman Essentials bundle features twelve 1,000-meter cones in the colors Angela reaches for again and again:

These colors were chosen because they work across an incredible variety of quilts. Instead of filling the collection with multiple shades of white or colors that rarely leave the shelf, Angela selected threads that complement everything from traditional quilts and florals to modern designs, batiks, children's quilts, and seasonal projects.

If you're building your Glide collection from the ground up, this is the perfect place to start.

Angela's Favorites Bundle: Eight More Must-Have Colors

As Angela continued quilting, a few more colors became regulars on her machine. Those favorites inspired the Angela's Favorites Bundle, a collection of eight additional Glide colors that beautifully complement the Essentials collection.

These shades add even more versatility to your thread collection, especially when quilting brighter fabrics, rich jewel tones, seasonal quilts, or projects that call for a little more color.

Whether you're stitching leaves on an autumn quilt, quilting a vibrant floral top, or adding texture to a beach-inspired design, these colors help your quilting blend beautifully while still enhancing the finished project.

Which Bundle Is Right for You?

Both collections were designed around the colors Angela actually uses—not simply colors that look pretty together on a shelf.

If you're just beginning your Glide collection, the Angela Huffman Essentials bundle provides a versatile foundation that you'll use on quilt after quilt.

If you already own the Essentials collection or simply want to expand your options, the Angela's Favorites Bundle adds eight additional shades that Angela consistently reaches for in her own quilting studio.

Of course, many quilters choose both collections. Together, they provide twenty thoughtfully selected Glide thread colors that are ready for nearly any quilting project.

Why Quilters Love Glide Thread

Glide has earned a loyal following among machine quilters because it delivers:

• Beautiful, consistent stitch quality

• A smooth, low-lint quilting experience

• A subtle sheen that enhances quilting designs

• Excellent performance on both longarm and domestic quilting machines

• Colors that blend beautifully with today's quilting fabrics

When your thread performs this well, you can spend less time adjusting your machine and more time enjoying the quilting process.

Build Your Glide Thread Collection

Whether you're looking for an everyday collection of versatile colors or want to add more of Angela's personal favorites to your sewing room, these two curated Glide bundles make it easy to build a thread collection you'll reach for again and again. Both bundles are available in 1,000-meter mini cones and 5,000-meter king cones, so you can choose the size that best fits your quilting and sewing needs.
