I rub a dryer sheet on my thread to keep it smooth.

This is true for quilting and all hand sewing. Once I was told this, I don't have trouble with twisting/knotting any more :D:D:D

Like SparkMonkey said, untwist your thread every few stitches. It doesn't matter what you coat your thread with if it gets twisted while stitching it will knot up. I use beeswax but still have to untwist the thread.

I also hand quilt. I find YLI thread is the best and has the least amount of getting tangled and knotted. If it does, it's easy to correct.

Wal-mart has tacky finger and most drug stores too.
