Hand Sewing Tip - Wax Thread to Stop Knotting
To stop getting knots in the thread when you are hand sewing, pass the thread through bees wax. You can purchase a bees wax notion at fabric stores. This just works wonders! There will be no wax residue left behind.

I use the wax, and also my Mom showed me years ago that it matters which end of the thread you put the needle on. Stroke downward lightly between thumb and forefinger, and you will feel the difference, because of the twist of the thread's filaments. Try from one end and then from the other. You'll find that the end that came first off the spool is the end to use!

That's a great idea! I'm going to have to try that. :-D
