Thanks everyone, I have just recently bought some bees wax to apply to the thread behind the needle seems to help. I think I got ahold of some thread that doesnt have much wax.

I am using nylon thread but it keeps coming undone from needle. I have the book on hand stitching by Al Stohlman, but that just covers the linen thread. Is there a better way to thread a needle when using synthetic thread? I am at work and I dont have the specifics on the thread and needles I am using right now. Thanks Gary
