the Felling stitch is done by hand, using a size 007 needle in Bespoke Tailoring. It is to neaten hems on cuffs and around the hem of a jacket to join the folded or rolled edge of the lining and cloth together and create an 'invisible' stitch. Others may refer to the felling stitch as the Slip-stitch.

Beeswax is used on all types of thread in tailoring, to give the thread more strength whilst also allowing it to pass through the layers of cloth easily. Beeswax is used at the beginning of all hand-stitching and is used all types of thread including Basting thread.

Their Fell Stitch is not our Felling Stitch, B & M Tailor's  Slip-Stitch is what we call a Felling Stitch.

Hundreds of sewing patterns, sewing books, magazines and instructions and hardly any mention of this most useful sewing notion: beeswax.

It ensures durability of a finished garment and makes many hand-sewing tasks easier to execute. I am sure many of us worked on at least one of the following techniques where beeswax comes in handy:

Hand-worked buttonholes
Sewing on Buttons
Padstitching
Setting-in a sleeve by hand
Hemming
Inserting a zipper
Hand-stitched French Seams on fine fabrics
Inserting a chain on a Chanel-like jacket
Sewing-on patch pockets
Sewing fur
Quilting
Beading…

beeswax is used in tailoring to wax handsewing thread to prevent knotting and the thread from snapping under pressure. it also makes the hand sewing experience much smoother as the wax on the thread glides through the material with ease.

felling stitch is a stitch to attach a folded edge to raw edge or a seam line. it can be don't by hand or even by a machine. it is also used on applique and linings.

Beeswax is used to wax thread to make it stronger, smoother, and keep it from knotting and tangling. You run the thread through the wax three to four times and pull it through beneath the iron to press it the same number of times (between a press cloth so as to not ruin the iron or board cover). You can use a hair straighter in a pinch to iron the thread in a pinch when you are traveling or don't have an iron.

You use a size 7 needle to perform the Felling Stitch, and it is used on areas including welt pockets, linings, and waistbands joined to linings.

The felling stitch is carried out using a size 7 needle which is smaller in length than a size 5 needle which is used for basting. A smaller needle is used as it is able to make intricate stitches easier as well as performing the stitches quicker using the shorter length. Hand sewing waxed thread and a thimble are also used when sewing felling stitch.

The felling stitch is a stitch which attaches one folded edge to seam line of another piece of fabric. It is located in the lining of sleeves, coats and jackets, as well as at the collar. It is used to complete the inside fold of waistbands in slacks, skirts and aprons. Tape can also be attached using felling stitch on seam edges. Felling stitch can be carried out by hand or by machine.

Beeswax is used in tailoring to wax all hand sewing threads except for basting thread. The beeswax is available in a small block which can come with a plastic covering with holes allowing the thread to pass through. Pure and natural beeswax is able to be purchased.
Whilst securing the wax using the iron, no steam is used.

Beeswax is able to lessen the static cling between the thread and the fabric, as well as minimise its ability to knot and break, making the thread reinforced and able to last longer. Waxing is also able to hold two or more thread together and make it easier for threading the thread through the needle.

Bees wax is good for conditioning thread where you need strength and durability.  It is different to 'sewing wax' which is made from paraffin.

The felling stitch is used in place of a hemming stitch, but is shorter and straighter so that it doesn’t show. It's often used for linings, but can be also used for appliqués.

To apply beeswax to the thread, cut a short length of thread (not longer then 80 cm) and run it through the beeswax two or three times.  To press the wax further into the thread and remove the excess of wax, press it with an iron. To not coat your iron with wax, protect your iron and ironing board by sandwiching the thread between a folded sheet of cloth. Pull your thread through the cloth for the same amont of times as you pass it through the wax.

For the felling stitch a size 7 between needle is used. Felling is used to sew in the lining of a garment. The folded edge of the lining is attached to the hem or facing of the garment.

Beeswax is used to prepare any thread (except for basting thread) used for hand sewing. The thread is pulled through the wax and then pressed between two layers of cloth. This seals the wax into the fibres of the thread and makes the thread stronger. During hand sewing it prevents the thread from tangling and knotting and allows the thread to run smoother through the layers of fabric.
