Why wax thread?
Hi All,
I was wondering what the reason for waxing the polyester thread before hand sewing is? I've also seen some websites that sell handmade plaids, and they list a "waxed and hand purled" fringe. How, and why would you need to wax the purled fringe? Thanks for the info. Cheers.
Nate
