Another tip is to not have your thread too long.

I've been using "Thread Heaven," but didn't know a dryer sheet would do the same thing. Dryer sheets make me sneeze, however.

YES! :-) Nothing like using an old candle... now that's a "tool" that has many uses... to unstick drawer runner-glides, aluminum storm window tracks, and quilt threads; not to forget melting them again and making new chunky candles! Hmmm... now there's a tute-to-be!

I have used dryer sheets for a while now , works great ! Also sticking your needle in a bar of Ivory soap will make it and your thread work a lot better.
