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

This really works. Wet the BACK of the needle and poke the thread in the general direction of the hole. It seems to just pop through there. If there is a lot of fluff at the end of the thread, cut that off, but I've taken thread that has been sitting around a long time and it went right through that eye.
