Great tip. I always have either Thread Heaven and/or a chap stick with my sewing stuff. I don't know why, but my hands and lips always get really dry when working with fabric. (Of course, I use lotion on my hands and not Thread Heaven or chap stick.)
A sewing machine repairman just said the funniest thing, he said, "you know, they just keep making those needle eyes smaller and smaller." Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. LOL
