The Golden Exotic Tan Bobbin
Magna-Glide Delights 24515 Cleopatra is a warm, slightly golden tan with a distinctly exotic character — named for the Egyptian queen and delivering the specific warm desert-golden tan of Egyptian-palette fabrics. Slightly more golden than Sand and less olive than Khaki, it fills the warm exotic golden-tan position for globally-inspired and Middle Eastern-palette quilts, pairing naturally under warm exotic top threads like Glide 57571 Arabian.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I choose Cleopatra over the Sand bobbin?
When the backing carries a visible golden cast — desert gold, camel-gold, and Egyptian-palette tans make Sand read flat and pale. Cleopatra shares the golden warmth and disappears on these fabrics.
Is Cleopatra a good bobbin for global textile quilts?
Yes — kilim, block-print, and Middle Eastern-inspired fabric lines lean on warm golden tans, and Cleopatra integrates across that range under Arabian and the warm spice-brown top threads.
What top threads pair best with the Cleopatra bobbin?
Warm exotic tans and golds like Arabian, Vegas Gold, and Tawny integrate cleanly, and it anchors mixed desert-palette tops on golden-tan backings without bobbin changes.
