Even better, moisten your fingertips then pull the end of the thread through them, keeps the thread from getting too wet. I learned putting the thread in my mouth however from my mom over 60 years ago. :-D
Me too! I thought everyone did.
I saw on one of the quilt web sites that you should not moisten the thread and instead moisten the eye of the needle, which does seem to work!
