The others are correct - we've all had this problem from time to time. Ditch it and try another brand, but do keep using the beeswax. Good luck. (Also, check that the eye of your quilting needle isn't the culpril as this has also happened to me).

I wouldn't trust it. If it's new, you should be able to take it back to where you bought it, but I would ask for store credit and then use it to buy a different brand of thread. If it's old thread, it has just degraded and will not last in your quilt.

Every now and then one runs across old stock...this is usually characterized by the degeneration of the fiber....thus thread breaks even when bees-waxed.
If you choose to use this thread, double it if possible...this is easy if you are hand quilting...harder if you are using a machine.

it ought to be the thread itself this is undesirable. additionally the way it comes off the spool, attempt turning the spool over. If the thread is thicker than the attention of the needle, verify you're employing a quilting needle or a topstitch needle. additionally polyester thread "drags" for the duration of metallic, so a cotton, cotton lined, or a rayon thread could paintings greater helpful. there's no longer something greater problematic than commencing and combating using fact the thread is messing up. one greater ingredient, in case you probably did no longer wash the sizing out of the cloth, that can in specific circumstances reason problems with the thread. I prewash each and every fabric that comes into my abode! wish this facilitates!
