The Medium Brown Bobbin
Magna-Glide Delights 24625 Brunette fills the mid-brown position — lighter than Mocha and darker than Sand or Khaki, Brunette integrates on the very large range of medium brown fabrics that appear across traditional, heritage, and country quilting. When Sand is too light and Mocha is too dark, Brunette is the production choice, pairing naturally under medium-brown top threads like Glide 21132 Suede.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need Brunette instead of Mocha?
On medium caramel, saddle, and mid-brown backings, Mocha reads too dark — pokies show as espresso dots. Brunette matches the middle brown register where most traditional and reproduction brown fabrics actually sit.
Is Brunette a good bobbin for Civil War reproduction quilts?
Yes — reproduction lines lean heavily on madder browns and medium earth tones, and Brunette integrates across that range better than any lighter or darker alternative. It's a standard stock colour for heritage-focused studios.
What top threads pair best with the Brunette bobbin?
Medium warm-brown Glide tops like Suede, Tawny, and Russet integrate cleanly. It also anchors mixed autumn and wildlife tops on medium brown backings without bobbin changes between colours.
