Members sly Posted June 21, 2012 Members Report Posted June 21, 2012 Just wondering if anyone has used embroidery thread that has be bees waxed? I thought I read something about it in this section but for the life of me I can't find it again. Must be on page 899!! LOl! Wondering because there are a lot of color choices that way. Thanks for your help ahead of time! Quote
Members Dwight Posted June 22, 2012 Members Report Posted June 22, 2012 I've never done embroidery thread, . . . but waxing thread for hand sewing is fairly easy, . . . just set your block of beeswax in your stitching pony, . . . pull the thread through the wax, . . . VOILA, . . . waxed thread. I would pull it through twice, . . . left to right, . . . then right to left. May God bless, Dwight Quote
Members ramrod Posted July 1, 2012 Members Report Posted July 1, 2012 i've used it. and the reason i did use it was because of the multitude of colors available. i didn't wax it nearly enough (looking baack on it) and didn't really like the stuff. it seemed to be "loose" and "fluffy" so i didn't feel like i got a decent stitch with it. loved the colors, tho.
