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.
My mom and grandmom used to do this, almost unconsciously.
My mom also did it with diaper pins. 8-)
