  • Some more info on Glazed Thread...

    Glazed thread is mercerized cotton thread that has been waxed or treated with various chemicals that give it a polished, lustrous appearance, which is desirable for certain hand-sewing and hand-quilting projects. Although the process of glazing strengthens the thread, the glaze often can rub off and clog up sewing machines and sewing machine needles. For this reason, most stitchers will avoid glazed cotton thread for machine sewing.
