The Sew Mate Paraffin Wax is a handy sewing notion to stop tangling, twisting, and knotting during hand sewing, quilting, or embroidery! By simply pulling the thread through one of the grooves, it becomes coated with a thin layer of wax, making it more supple, stronger, and less prone to friction. Your thread then glides more easily through the fabric, twists less, and no longer tangles. A super practical essential for all your sewing or embroidery projects! How to Use It • Place the thread: Lay your thread inside one of the guiding slots or grooves on the side of the plastic container. • Pull through: Press the thread lightly against the wax with your thumb and pull it all the way through. • Sew smoothly: The thin wax coating strengthens the fibers, reduces static, and helps the thread glide tangle-free through multiple fabric layers.
