It is not for threading needles, it does help keeping thread from knotting as one hand sews...but the unwritten rule of a piece of thread not much longer than 18" really helps too...it seems too much longer than that and knots will form as the thread twists from the stitching.
BTW- when one runs the needle quickly thru ones hair to make the needle slide thru the fabric easier (as per Amish) there is really no fear of getting oil on the quilt......
