Elmer's works too. :)

And you do cut your thread end at a sharp angle to make it pointy to go through the eye, don't you?

I never would have thought of this! Thanks for the tip. I use the bees wax on my threads. Good tip on the Roxanne needles too. Anyone else have trouble with the inferior needles they make these days? They actually bow/bend in the middle before one project is finished.

Super idea, I love king tut thread.

To save time, you can thread all of your size 12 needles at once and have them dangling off of the spool until ready for the next use. When you need the next needle, just separate the closest needle to the thread tip from the others keeping the others at the spool. Pull out the amount of thread you want with the one needle in that section. Now you only have to worry about putting the fray check on once for all of your needles.

What a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing.

Great suggestion. Never would have thought of using it for threading a needle.

Clear nail polish works also--or colors might help you guide.
