The Colour of Quality Leather
Glide 20140 Leather is the rich, warm medium-dark brown of well-made leather goods -- saddles, belts, and worn leather furniture. Warmer and more golden than Medium Brown, lighter than Chocolate, it occupies the classic leather-brown position that western, heritage, and warm traditional quilts call for. On fabrics with the warm, slightly reddish-golden character of tanned leather, this thread integrates where cooler or flatter browns would read as a mismatch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Leather or Medium Brown for a brown quilt?
Warmth decides: Medium Brown is the balanced neutral brown; Leather carries golden-red warmth. Western and warm-toned browns take Leather; plain browns take Medium Brown.
Leather or Hazel?
Hazel is lighter and more amber; Leather is deeper and richer. If the fabric reads as amber-tan, Hazel; if it reads as saddle-brown, Leather.
Which bobbin pairs with Leather?
A medium-dark brown Magna-Glide Delights pre-wound; on cream or tan backings step down to a tan jar so the bobbin disappears on both faces.
