Random Quick Tip!
Easy Does it Hand SewingIf you use a needle and thread for alot of hand sewing and it seems to twist and knot on you alot. You can rub the thread onto a piece of bees wax. The wax coats the thread nicely and lets the thread glide through the fabric easily. If you are in a pinch and do not have bees wax, you can use an old stump from a candle or a matching color crayon. Bee's wax is best though cause it is all natural and will not break down your cotton thread.
