Has anyone hand quilted with a thread called glazed? Ive been looking at these threads and they are expensive but would be worth it if they didnt ravel or tangle while handquilting.

I've never heard of glazed, but will be watching the thread to see what others who have used it have to say. I've always used Thread Heaven to coat my quilting thread.

Yep, glazed threads are for hand quilting, eliminating knotting and tangling. I've never used it, so can't say from personal experience. They are not for machine quilting.

Yes, I have. It should not be used in your machine.

I've heard of it, but never used it.

It's great thread for handquilting. I also use beeswax to coat some threads.

YLI hand quilting thread on the wooden spool/cones is an example of a glazed thread. We sold hundreds of spools in my shop, it was/is very popular in some regions.

Joannes has glazed handquilting thread that I've used. I liked it. I believe the brand was Americana.

it is only for HAND work..and it a dream to work with....I got tons of in Germany in many colors, but here you hardly find it any more. I think YLI has some but not many color choices!

I've never heard of it or used it. I have a wheel of beeswax that has slits to run the thread through and coat it.

I prefer the YLI hand quilting thread and it is the best I have ever used. As already said it is glazed and it is not necessary to use additional beeswax or thread heaven. This thread does not tangle or knot because of the covering.
Another brand I have used is Coats Dual Duty. It's made of a Polyester with a cotton cover and it's also glazed. Both brands are available in most shops here.

I have some older ($1.69/250 yard spool) of C&C DD hand quilting thread. Might be 10-20 years old. Was stored away from light and dust. Seems fine...should I toss it or donate it?

Yes Jan, this is what I've always used and loved. :D

I found an ebay seller who has this glazed thread for like 10.00 an it has a lot of yardage on it..well over a 1000 yard on a cone in the color Im needing. Is this the standard price of this thread?

My LQ shop does not carry any hand quilting thread and was trying to talk me into using King Tut thread. Does anyone know if King Tut would work for hand quilting. I am wanting to use varigated thread and this was her suggestion.

I used it for handquilting -- my very first quilt. I liked it very much but didn't really know why until I recently started some hand-quilting without it! Now that I've read this great thread (no pun intended!) I realize why I liked it. I think I have looked for it at JoAnne's but didn't find it. I THINK I bought mine at Hancocks when I was just a baby newbie -- now I am a junior newbie lol
