How do I keep my thread from getting tangled up?

Beeswax

Beeswax will strengthen your thread and eliminate twisting when hand sewing. Just pull the thread across the edge of the wax to pick up a light coat of wax. Pressing the waxed thread with a warm iron will eliminate wax residue on the fabric.
