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:
Prepare the thread and needle: cut the end of the thread with a sharp scissor to make it straight and uniform.
Moisten the thread with a cotton swab: slightly wet a cotton swab with water or saliva and pass the end of the thread. This trick helps to compact the fibers and prevent them from fraying.
Approach the thread to the eye: keep the thread as close as possible to the eye of the needle, keeping it firmly between the thumb and index.
