Sewer's Aid is a silicone lubricant for thread. I use it a lot on metallic threads. I believe Sharon Schambers has it, or similiar product, in a bucket and she puts the whole spool in it. I have heard there is a silicone liquid at hardware stores that is the same as Sewer's Aid but much cheaper. Wish I could remember what the product was.

In my case, it's in a bottle but the color is red and it gets poured into a glass, lol. Helps me a lot!

Whoo Hoo! Love it

When I saw the title I thought it was a corollary to Travellers Aid -- a place you could go when you were having trouble and needed help.
Hey, that describes this board!! |

i don't recommend it , its messy if your having any of the above problems maybe stop and find out why |
I have a computer machine and use it occasionally with metallic or other thread that does not want to feed well and keeps breaking or fraying. Again OCCASIONLLY.
WARNING! The bottle looks like a bottle of FRAY CHECK--DO NOT use one for the other! Ask me how I know?? LOL Sue |
I love this stuff. Put some on the thread h9older, rub a little under the presser foot. Works Great!!

I was told in my babylock embroidery class to rub a drop on the needle when using stick on stabilizer. I'm going to try it!
