"3. Sharon Schamber will actually dip a cone of thread into white mineral oil, let it drain on a paper towel, then use it in her machine. She agrees with the point that sometimes thread gets dried out and needs to be re-moisturized. This topic has been discussed on this board before, and there will be nay-sayers who will refuse to try this because they're afraid of getting oil on the quilt. I've never seen any oil spots on any of the award-winning quilts that Sharon makes."
Does anyone know if "white" mineral oil is the same as "clear" mineral oil? I have never seen the white stuff.
