Thanks for the advice. It really came at an opportune time as I was just starting a new wardrobe for the winter.

I also have some unused patterns I would like to find good homes for. Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls and Vogue as well as a couple of Kwik Sew and a few others!

This is the only thing I remember from sewing class in Home Ec in school. I've always used it for just about everything and now I know why. Thanks for the tip about the beeswax as it is definitely worth the effort!
