In an earlier post I mentioned the thread I use for beading, Fireline, is very tough stuff, BUT when you use crystals in your designs you could have a potential danger. Crystals have sharp edges on them and could saw through the thread if precautions are not put into place. I know this from experience, in which I still need to repair my piece. So, now I do this for any bead I use. I feel better just knowing it is protected.
And that is to wax your thread. I keep beading wax in my toolbox and use it whenever I do beaded stitching work. It really does help by providing a protective coating to the thread.
Its easy to do and only takes a moment. Just take the length of thread for your project and lay over top of your wax and gently pull the thread through the wax. And done. You have just protected and strengthened your thread.
