Thread Heaven thread conditioner is no more.
When the stock is out, there will be no more. The company has stopped production. I posted about this last year that it will probably not be manufactured anymore. If you like it then buy a few to last.

Just to help those who will not find this in the future. I have found beeswax cheap on Amazon. Beeswax is what people used before all the nifty inventions to condition thread. I keep mine in a sandwich baggie, with my needle threaders, to keep it clean. One piece will last me the rest of my life. Every so often, I remelt it so the edges do not chip off. I just pour the hot wax into a cupcake tin, with a liner, and when it cools I just peel off the paper and keep using it.

I just bought Thread Magic at Joann. It is in a round container with notches to guide the thread. I looks like Thread Heaven but it works much better. I was working on handquilting and it seems to glide through much better.

a lot of machine companies recommend not to use it on machine thread, especially the newer machines, it messes with the machines. I use wax when I'm doing hand work but that's it. Not taking any chances. Too much money invested in my machines

There was an online class I wanted to take but but never did. It was machine sewing with metallic thread and machine embroidery. It was a gorgeous wall hanging. They recommended putting a small piece of mole skin on your machine just above the needle and putting Thread Heaven on it. It was supposed to keep the metallic thread from shredding and breaking. I haven't tried it. It did sound like a good idea.

I got an email about the suppler going out of business and this as a replacement. There's a diagram showing how to use the conditioner. Don't know if I will try it or not on my machine.
