That's what I do also, except I just wet the back of the needle eye. If I have a problem with that, I clip on magnifying glasses so that I can see better. The magnifying glasses really help. Also, I have an Ott light on each side of my machine. The extra light helps me. I, too, have a Bernina. My automatic needle threader isn't working now. That's something I'll get repaired when I take the machine in.
