Yes, I use guttermans.......
I've heard that about thread. But I always forget which way.
Did you know there is a front side and a back side to a needle? This is the reason a needle threads easier sometimes than others. On the front side the indentation were the eye is is deeper than on the back side.
Check you needle the next time you pick it up.
