How to thread a needle without wetting, devices and unnecessary red tape
I won’t say that this is the secret of secrets, but many are not familiar with this simple method. In the classic version, everyone wets the tip of the thread with saliva and with one eye, taking aim, tries to thread the thread into a tiny eye.
This same method is often used by experienced seamstresses, since there is no need to wet anything or waste extra time looking for special devices for threading. And the method itself can be called fast if you compare it with the classic one, where most of the time is spent trying to aim and missing.
Thread the needle without any extra effort
Wrap the thread around the needle and pull it tightly. We pinch the needle with our fingers so that it is mostly visible.
Then, we pull out the needle and you should get a clamped loop between your clenched fingers.
Now use your eye to place the needle on this loop and apply pressure, pushing the thread into the needle.
The loop fits in almost on its own with proper skill.Next, we pull the coil that went through the eye.
And pull the shorter end of the thread out of the loop. Now the thread is threaded through the needle, which is exactly what we needed.
This is a simple way of threading, as an option, you can easily adopt it if you did not know about it before.
If it doesn't work out the first time, try again. In the future everything will be as it should be.
