Beeswax is used for waxing thread. Waxing threads makes threading a needle easier, makes thread less prone to knotting when hand stitching.

Use this stitch to secure seams from the right side. Often used to complete collars, waistbands and sleeves. You can also use it to finish hand-rolled hems and french seams. To create a fell stitch, lay the folded edge of the top fabric onto the seam allowance of the fabric to be joined. Use a number 7 needle to perform the felling stitch.

Also called an appliqué stitch, a fell (or "felling") stitch is used to appliqué one layer of fabric (generally a folded or selvage edge) to another. It's quick, strong, and flexible. The piece sewn on with a fell stitch can move somewhat like a hinge, and that makes it good for installing linings. It is also used to sew lace, either as appliqués or appliqué seams. A number 7 in between needle is preferable to perform this stitch as it is convenient to use for small stitching work. The felling stitch can be used on collar like shown on the picture, to secure lining on the edge of trousers or sleeves.

A pot of pure beeswax, perfect for waxing thread.  Waxing threads makes threading a needle easier, makes thread less prone to knotting when hand stitching, and makes the thread stronger when used to sew on buttons.  Aside from waxing thread, beeswax can be used to improve the glide of an iron and can even ease stiff drawers in old sewing cabinets!
To apply beeswax to your thread, cut a short length of thread and run it through the beeswax two or three times.  To press the wax further into the thread, either rub it through your fingers or press it with an iron (if you don't like the idea of coating your iron with wax, use a pressing cloth when you iron), protect your iron and ironing board by sandwiching the thread between a folded sheet of paper.

For Felling Stitch, use a short needle like a number 7  (easier for small stitches), with an eye large enough for the thread ... The fell stitch is useful for joining two layers of fabric from the right side to complete collars, waistbands and sleeves and also hand rolled hems and french seams.  Fell stitches usually refer to small, straight stitches.

Felling Stitch

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
By Kenneth D. King

Also called an "appliqué stitch," a fell (or "felling") stitch is used to appliqué one layer of fabric (generally a folded or selvage edge) to another. It's quick, strong, and flexible-the piece sewn on with a fell stitch can move somewhat like a hinge, and that makes it good for installing linings. It is also used to sew lace-either as appliqués or appliqué seams. The fell stitch is seen in millinery work as well as clothing; it is used to attach hat bodies to brims and to attach hatbands to hats. The stitches themselves typically sit 90 degrees to the edge, or they can be angled slightly. 1. Emerge on the folded edge. The stitch should be about 1mm away from the fold. 2. Insert the needle directly into the fabric next to the fold. Run it diagonally so that it emerges beyond the first stitch. 3. Pull the stitch closed. See how the stitch sits 90 degrees to the fold? Sew the stitches between 1⁄8 to 1⁄4 inch apart. Except from Threads, Issue 135, p. 65.
