Unless you are a sewing professional and have acquired an unstoppable technique for threading a needle, it must be admitted that, for some people, this manipulation can quickly become an ordeal. They then lose patience and even end up throwing in the towel. Others only manage to do it after several minutes or often require the help of a third party to be able to successfully slide the thread into the eye of the needle. Because, of course, this practice is very useful for sewing on a button or repairing a small visible tear in a pair of pants or a dress. Tired of always being in trouble? Here is a tip from Jeanne, my grandmother to know how to solve this problem in two steps.
A simple and effective method.
Certainly, in general, the needle threader is a very useful little tool to facilitate mending or making clothes without the thread softening. But we don’t always have it at hand. Usually, people trying to thread hold about an inch of thread between their fingers and try to guide it through the eye of the needle. However, it is difficult to pass it straight through, because the thread is fragile and flexible. After many attempts, the thread deviates and frays, forcing you to moisten it in your mouth to tighten the fibers before repeating the operation. Rest assured, the following method is by far the easiest way to thread yarn through a needle without using water, wax, or any kind of pin.
Here are the steps to follow:
Hold the yarn between your thumb and forefinger.
Pinch the yarn between your fingers until you can barely see the end of the yarn. Holding the needle in your other hand, bring the yarn and the eye of the needle together.
Instead of trying to push the tip of the yarn through the eye of the needle, push the eye over the tip of the yarn. Your fingertips should hold the yarn tightly so it doesn’t twist or fray. Even if the yarn is too thick, pinching the tip will compress it into a shape that matches the eye of the needle.
With a little practice, you should be able to feel with your fingers whether the needle is threaded properly. Keeping your fingers tight to hold the yarn, go ahead and push the needle through your fingers. As you separate the fingertips, you should complete the operation successfully.
How to thread a needle with coins?
This second method will take you a few minutes, but it is very effective. The application is simple: take a piece of copper wire long enough, bend it in half, being careful to leave the bent end with the loop open. Then place two coins (for example, 20 cents) on it, leaving this end sticking out. Tape the pieces together so that they do not move. Now take the needle and pass it through this loop: you will notice that it will be easier to pass the thread. Finally, take the thread and pass it through the eye of the bent end. All you have to do is continue the operation by pulling the needle to pass the thread through it.
