You will definitely use this method when you find out how easy it is to thread a needle in a matter of seconds. This does not require any additional devices.
This example will use a needle with a large eye for clarity, so don't worry: this truly magical method works for any needles and threads.

An instant way to thread a needle without any tools

It’s probably not worth reminding how much inconvenience, time and effort it takes to thread a needle in the classic way: first lick the tip of the thread, and then, like a musketeer with one eye, aims at the ear, periodically missing.

Thread the needle instantly

We take the thread and place it on the palm so that it lies on the pad near the index finger.

Exactly the fastest way to thread a needle

Place the needle on top so that the eye hole is in the middle of the thread.

By pressing on the needle, we begin to move it along the thread “back and forth.”

And you won’t believe it: in a second a loop of thread will fit into your eye by itself!

Next, all that remains is to pull out one end of the thread by grasping the coil. And everything will be as it should.

For small needles it will, of course, be a little more difficult to do this method, but not much.

I would like to add that this method requires skill and you may simply not succeed the first time. Therefore, you need to try 2-3 times to consolidate the result and everything will fall into place. Such a useful life hack will definitely burst into your life. Good luck!

  You can pull the end of the thread through a piece of candle, and the thread will be threaded into the needle without any problems. I always do this.

Still, it’s better with a small ear; I can easily cope with a large one without any tricks.

The method only works with a large needle. On small needles, and even with a hole the diameter of the thread itself, it’s a complete zero. The needle in the palm of your hand simply quickly strokes the thread without creating any of the required twisting and threading effects.

How reviews and comments reveal a person’s character.
Optimists, and just kind, good people, thank and rejoice in what they have and what they have learned about.
And whiners, skeptics, always dissatisfied with life, look for what is negative, what, in their opinion, is wrong, what they “won’t succeed anyway...
And they really don’t succeed - neither in life, nor in business, nor in relationships.
Imagine when there is always a person next to you who is dissatisfied with everything, who does not believe in anything, who thinks that everyone is deceiving him... although he (or she) is constantly deceiving himself.
It would seem - well, what’s easier... thread a needle...But here they found how and what to “kick” and complain about...
Yearning...
