I do work occasionally with a company that make coil winding and inserting equipment for motor manufacturers.
After they load a stator assembly with coils they often lace it. Their lacing machines are customized for a certain motor stator and they operate like specialized sewing machines, poking needles through the windings as the stator is rotated and catching the thread/cord on the backside of the stator very similar to a sewing machine. The lacing machines even tie the knots at the end of the lacing procedures. You can't follow the needles with your eyes, the needles move that fast. They are servo motor driven machines. The cord that I have seen them use looks like old style braided fishing line and it isn't waxed. But the entire stator is usually dipped and then baked after assembly.
