I have thread heaven but have trouble running the thread through the little blue box. I prefer beeswax.
One thing that helps if you have trouble......the proper way to thread a needle is to always thread the beginning of the thread...the cut end should always be the knot end. This is the way thread is twisted for proper sewing.
(I hope this is clear to you as it is to me : )

I do not use it, but I remember my Grandmother's and how I used to put it up to my nose and smell it. I had forgotten all about it, and probably never really paid attention to how it was used, since I was very little when I went to her house. Thanks for the tip!

Also use when you applique but be sure to wrap the bees wax with seran wrap or keep in a tight container to make it last longer and stay soft for use. Just pull the thread slowly through or across the wax and you will enjoy your stitching.
