Someone said Joann's has it. If you're ordering something on line a lot of places have it. Someone on the board posted their website yesterday and they sell it.

I purchased it at the Hancock Sale yesterday. They were 50% off!

Thanks for the tip. I took an applique class last year and wish that I knew about this.

Same here, I love my beeswax. Got it from Yankee Candle where they were molded into muffin shapes. Warmed it up in a plastic bag in the sun, then cut and reshaped it into several pieces. Just sold an antique earwax spoon. Back when they used the little "spoon" to remove earwax and used it for sewing.

Bees wax actually strengthens your thread, over time. Be careful not to use colored beeswax. I use a small natural colored candle, to run my hand quilting thread through, as I work.

I use beeswax and have for many years. Unfortunately I was out and bought Thread Haven instead. It was far more expensive and didn't do the job at all. My thread knotted and tangled, so it was back to beeswax.

So does it come in a "solid" form or is it in a little bottle, or what? I would like to TRY it!
