The Fray Check or bees wax are excellent ideas. So is the wetting the needle, not the thread; you don't even have to cut the thread unless it is quite fuzzy.
But Mary Fonz uses the grease on her nose. I saw her do that yesterday, but can't find the site now. She rubs the bridge of her nose with her thumb and pointer finger, then grasps the thread end to get some of the grease on it. Hilarious!
