I just thought I'd like to let you know since I read your thread I've been following the tip! For me, it's working like a charm! I was most skeptical. I'm working on Yo Yo's while I watch TV at night to make a coverlet for our guest bedroom. I will need 5000 of those Yo's, it seemed daunting but I'm finding I'm making 40-50 in an evening (I think maybe I watch too much TV:0) Only 4200 to go!!!! :0)
Even though I used bees wax I would still get the dreaded knot/tangle from time-to-time. I also appreciated hearing there are two sides to the needle eye...that too has saved some frustration in threading the eye. Who knew????
I tried putting multiple needles on the spool as one person said she does....that one didn't work so well for me as those needles got tangled....I loved that hint but I haven't mastered that concept.
So this is just to report that for me, this thread has helped me immensely
