Same here, what ever thread is at hand. Some times I wax, sometimes not, depends on the mood and if my wax is handy. I measured my stitches once and came up with about 18-22 stitches a inch.
No matter how I try I can't make the stitches farther apart. My Great Grandma taught me to hand stitch that close, I do the over cast stitch and it's a pain when I attach something to the wrong spot!
