Good tip, it does really help. I always do this, and I also knot that end before cutting the thread off the spool. If you should take thread from a bobbin for hand sewing, do the opposite.

Have not tried Thread Heaven, but beeswax works well for me.

When I hand sew buttons on I always thread both ends of the thread into the needle and then form a loop at the eye of the needle. The thread never twists this way. (This is an old 4-H hint that I've been using longer that I wouldliketo admit.)

Joann...that is truly a new one for me. I'm wondering how big the eye of your needle is, to accomplish the threading without going insane! ;) I will try it, though. p.s. my comment above is for single thread hand sewing.

Thanks for that tip! I normally use the wax, but sometimes it builds up and get stuck in the eye of the needle.

gerat thought, I will try as I do a lot of aew at work. The twisty thread slow down my work.
