I learned how wonderful bees wax is when I started beading and jewelry making several years ago. I use it everytime I thread a needle for any handwork now. Makes the thread just glide and so much stronger.

Hope this helps.

I use bees wax or parrifin wax. I have a block of parrifin wax on my tray for hand quilting, a piece by the sewing machine for hand sewing. I use it all the time. Either one is great. I have also used old white candles when in a pinch. By using these waxes, the thread does not tangle as bad either.
