It is a little wavy when I take it off the spool so I just run it across the top of Bag Balm and then run my fingers down the tread and have no problem with twisting or breaking. Any access bag balm goes on my fingers when I straighten the tread and feels great as I have very dry skin and naturally handling fabric and thread doesn't help but oh well. Thanks for all the great articles on so many interesting things for the quilting world. You are loved and appreciated.<br />Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219082337396129237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-36046001351819122922018-03-19T15:33:39.770-04:002018-03-19T15:33:39.770-04:00Thank you for this post about quilting thread.
