Glide 50174 Rust is the standard, reliable rust thread — the warm orange-red of iron oxide that defines the rust colour category. As the production rust thread for all rust-fabric quilting applications, it serves the Glide line the same role that Oregon Trail (Omni 3027) serves in the Omni family: the warm rust-brown for the complete range of rustic, autumn, and heritage quilts.
