I posted about the waxed thread. Isn't it wonderful? Eleanor Burns suggested it. The brand I use is Beadwrangler's Original Silamide 2ply. I have an assortment of different color 100 yard spools that Eleanor sold on her website some years ago. I use it for most all my handsewing. Threads magazines said it was the best handsewing thread to use too.

Thanks for the suggestion...I am really pleased with the results on those hexies. I may have to increase my inventory of this thread in some colors too,
