The Warm Copper Accent
Glide 20730 Light Copper is the thread for fabrics and designs where copper is the right metallic tone — warmer and more orange than gold, redder and more metallic than standard orange-brown. On copper-toned fabrics, warm metallic-look collections, and autumn quilts with copper accents, Light Copper provides the specific warm metallic quality that no other thread colour delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Light Copper a true metallic thread?
No -- like Sterling, it is high-sheen trilobal polyester that reads metallic. It runs at full longarm speed without metallic-thread breakage.
Light Copper or Vegas Gold?
Vegas Gold is bright yellow-gold; Light Copper is orange-red metal. Match the fabric's metal tone -- brass and gold prints take Vegas Gold, penny-copper prints take Light Copper.
Light Copper or Rust Brown?
Rust Brown is the matte earth version; Light Copper is the shiny metal version of the same territory. Sheen decides.
