Even better, moisten your fingertips then pull the end of the thread through them, keeps the thread from getting too wet. I learned putting the thread in my mouth however from my mom over 60 years ago. :-D

Me too! I thought everyone did.

It's the scientific word for the liquid in your mouth.. spit.
I've always used it for threading my needles. My Mama taught me to do it this way!

Thank u all 4 not laughing ;)

I spent the first half of my life thinking that I should already know things & wouldn't ask anyone about anything. I've decided that if I don't know something (no matter how common the knowledge is, if I don't know I don't know) I won't find out if I don't ask. So I'll ask & I'll answer if I know. So ask!!

Nope, not laughing. English is not my native language and I made many mistakes when I first came to the USA. I never understood why people did not explain to me when I made a mistake.

I learned the other day that I should also put a little spit on the eye of the needle and it would make the thread go through easier.
