This tip sounds funny BUT I can tell you it works. The spit, or saliva for you more elegant ladies, seems to pull the thread right through the eye like majic. I don't do this on my machine but when I hand sew. You can do it on your machine by spitting on your finger and appying it to the needle. I have a self threading machine so do not have to use that method. This is a great tip. MNM
