Threads magazine just recently had an article about using waxed beading thread for handsewing for hems, buttons, emblellisments, bindings, etc.
Thanks for that tip...l will definitely look for that thread....I have switched to cotton thread, but that too is not sturdy...I think the friction of the thread moving thru the fab causes weaking of the strands in the thread and thus shredding! So now to hunt for that waxed thread!
