I was just threading my machine and remembered the talk about water soluble thread. Don't try to wet the end, how about cutting the end on an angle and threading the needle. Also I remember being told by a teacher that you lick your fingers and run them down the needle. It does work as I often do that. Just thought you should know that trick too.
