How to thread a needle without wetting the tools 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.

    Nothing is said about the thickness of the thread. But I’ll try, if it doesn’t work, I’ll advise you to buy a thread threader, I bought three types here, and a special needle to boot.

      I tried it: after the first attempt I put on glasses, after the second I switched to the traditional method. Another problem is cramping my fingers.... I still advise you to buy a thread threader and a larger size, it fits exactly...

    I don’t understand why it is necessary to pull the needle out and then push it in again so that the thread remains in the eye. Isn’t it easier to move the needle itself with its eye towards the thread???
