I use Sewers Aide for regular hand sewing thread, have used beeswax, soap, & dryer sheet ( when I had a dryer ).
My quilting thread is YLI Hand quilting thread, I love it !! Threading needle with firstend & knot cut end at spool is how I do. |
Great tip! I'll have to try it! Thanks!
|
I have never heard of that. Thanks for the tip.
|
I use bees wax but thanks for the tip as now I will save money and do this trick. As far as I know I have never heard of this trick so I would have to say you are a rare one. In a good sense of the meaning...

Just curious, am I the only one that uses this technique?? |
The acrylic piece around my machine becomes very static-y and I use dryer sheets to keep the static down and threads from releasing from it! Love those things!

thanks for the tip...i thought it was my lack of sewing skills...know this puts a smile on my face:-)
|
Good tip.....THANKS!
|
I also was taught to cut thread and knot the same end, works pretty good.
|
Thanks for the tip, first time I heard it.
