Okay, okay: "uncle". I will now begin pre-conditioning my floss with this stuff. Typically used by beaders, Thread Heaven will work wonders for us embroiderers, too! I'm really impressed by this seemingly magical balm and all that it does! It's petroleum free (that's cool), it won't break down and ruin fibers, it's UV protective, was invented by a beader for people like us, it will walk the dog for you and give you a massage (okay, I made that last part up)...But, it will make separating your floss easier and keep those stitches playing nice.
