Threading a needle is one of the most common operations in sewing, but it can become frustrating, especially when the thread seems to want to pass through the eye. A seamstress with 60 years of experience has shared an ingenious trick that makes this process simple and fast, even for those who do not have a perfect view or impeccable manual skills. With the help of common tools, such as a cotton bud, threading the needle will no longer be a problem.

The improved traditional method
If you are used to trying and try again to thread the thread in the eye of the needle, follow these steps to get immediate results:
