I am doing this during a Civil War Event, so I can't use the spray, but I will keep candle wax on hand for the thread. I am putting it on a long quilting table, and thanks for the advice on the length of the thread. I tend to make it long right now with just doing the top part.
I know during the Civil War they used 9-10 stitch per inch and I was just wondering if that had changed after all of this time.
I can't buy the safety pins that they had back then because you can't find them without the rounded part on the end of them.
How do I sharpen my favorite needle then?
