Hand Quilting using Bee's wax?
I'm doing some Hawaiian Quilting for the TV program and wondered if I still should use bees wax on the thread. For the past 30 years I've been doing machine piecing and quilting but am doing a TV segment on Hawaiian quilting next week and trying to finish some examples.
Thanks, Lady Elisabeth |
Bees wax is good for all thread if hand sewing. Try Thread Heaven, it's much better in my opinion.
|
I only use it if I'm having trouble with the thread. I used metallic thread, so I used beeswax or Thread Heaven because the thread shredded so bad.
If you use thread heaven, be sure not to get it on your fingers - it's really hard to pull a loaded needle through because it slips right through your fingers. :( Janet |
I LOVE thread heaven get product.
|
I still use it on that rare occasion I hand quilt.
|
I also use bees wax when handquilting only. But I have unlimited supply, my DH keeps bees. it certainly helps to keep my thread from tangling and knotting and it smells nice too.
|
Thanks for your advice. Now to see how many projects I can get finished before we tape the Quilting program.
I've never heard of thread heaven |
