How to thread a needle

Sewing tutorial

Threading a needle can be frustrating.

Here are some tips to help make threading a needle easier.

If the thread is  NOT  CUT WELL with fibers sticking out,  No Amount of Licking or smoothing helps

You Need To Make A Clean Cut

Take the thread end from the spool. Ensure that the cut is nice, clean and  no fibers are coming apart.

Here is a special needle threader.  They are really easy to use. They are very handy

So How Do You Use One?

Slide a thin metal loop into the eye of the needle,

Place the thread into the loop and pull the threader out of the needle.

If you don’t have these handy threaders – don’t worry,

There is something else  you can use

Dental floss threaders

They are thin and flexible.  The action is similar. Put the thread into the circular opening, stick the pointy end through the needle eye and pull.

Another Tip? Real Self-threading Needles. And This is Not a joke !

Just slip the thread into the groove at the top of the needle and push it down into the eye
