For smooth, frictionless sewing, try Sewing Thread Wax and Thread Lubricants. Whether you’re sewing by hand or with a machine, using a sewing thread lubricant or wax is a great way to help keep your stitches smooth. Apply thread wax or conditioner to threads before hand sewing to help prevent tangling and facilitate smoother, easier sewing. Thread wax helps strengthen and smooth out the surface of the thread and aids in reducing fraying, which is especially helpful for sewing thick materials. For high-speed sewing, such as serging or sewing with an industrial sewing machine, a few drops of thread lubricant applied to sewing machine needles, bobbins, or spools can help reduce friction and prevent thread breakage or skipped stitching.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewing Thread Wax & Thread Lubricant
What is thread wax used for?Thread wax is used to protect threads, especially for hand sewing, embroidery, needlework, and high-friction sewing applications like leather topstitching. A light coating of thread wax or conditioner reduces the thread’s friction and static during sewing, helping to prevent fraying or tangling and maintain smooth sewing action and thread appearance.
How do you wax thread?To wax threads, simply run the thread through the wax to apply a light coating. If your wax doesn’t have a holder or case, place your thumb on top of the thread to apply light pressure while you pull it through the wax. Too much wax can cause the threads to become stiff, so apply sparingly. |
