I've never seen the 35 for hand quilting. Is it better than 40?

Single thread...I use hand quilting thread and still have trouble with tangles. I have tried using bee's wax on the thread and that helps some. Any other suggestions?

I use single, hand quilting thread. I've never had success with beeswax but Thread Heaven is to die for. I also only use pieces that are about 18 in. long. I don't measure, just guestimate and it seems to work for me.
