How does this help your thread??
I would imagine it makes the thread go through the fabric better.
Cheaper than beeswax!
O.K. Heres an oldie but goodie, simply run the needle or pin through your hair 2 or 3 strokes, it will glide right thru the fabric unless rusted. Don't go too deep or you could scratch your scalp. The first time I did this not thinking about it in front of one of my sewing students, I had to explain and they were amazed at the results.
Yes, have been doing this for years! Works great.
