older thread
#1
Anyone ever put their older threads that tend to break in a baggie and put it in the freezer over night ? I inherited a bunch of thread from my MIL that was older and dry and breaky so i tried this,,, IT Worked .

It didn't work for me. Sewer's Aid will work on thread that's a little dry but there's a big difference between "little dry" and dry rot. If you can easily break the thread by pulling on it--throw it away. It's just going to drive you crazy.

Yes, but i didn't use a baggie I thought you wanted it to get the moisture? Mine wasn't dry rot it just didn't want to go through machine without excess fraying worked fine after and quilt is fine- no problem.

I use those old threads for basteing -- I'm too frugal to throw away

I use all my old threads for basting and tacking garments, I would hate to go to all that trouble making a nice quilt just to have it fall apart on me later, but that is just me!
