Need your input please
I wanted to know if anyone has ever heard about taking a spool of cotton thread and dipping it in vegetable oil and then taking a paper towel and wipe the excess off. Years ago when Levis were made in the US, I sewed the right side seam together and they had us do this to our thread. I asked why, they said that the cotton thread would fray because of the speed it was going into the machine. I would like to know if you think it would stain my quilt if I did this to my cotton thread all I have to use is coats and clark 30wt and it is fraying and breaking I have changed everything and cleaned everything but it is still breaking. I had a heart attack 10 months ago and now have no job so I have to use what I have and I always wash my quilts when I am finished with them. I am thinking about doing this to my thread but do not want to stain my quilt. What do you think? Sorry for the length, any help I would be grateful. Thank you.
