Easier needle-threading.
Instead of licking the end of the thread, lick the eye of the needle! Note: On a sewing machine, we assume you were already going to use your finger to moisten the needle - and take your foot off the pedal, just in case, right?
A neater floor, without a lot of bending - or the vacuum!
Stick a lint roller on a long-handled paint edger - not the big roller, but the little edgers they sell next to the big paint rollers. Roll the edger around to catch all the little threads and scraps, and your area's neat as a pin!
Easy seam-allowance guide.
Whatever your most common seam allowance - whether 5/8", or some people like to use a full inch, stick a few layers of painter's tape that distance from your needle on your machine. Not only will you have a visual reference for where the edge of your fabric should be - the extra height of the tape will help you keep your seam straight.
