🧵 A Seamstress with 60 Years of Experience Reveals the Secret to Putting the Needle Effortlessly
For anyone who sews, one of the most frustrating moments can be threading a needle. The tiny eye, the thin thread—it’s a challenge that has tested beginners and seasoned sewers alike. But what if threading a needle could become effortless every single time?
Thanks to a seamstress with over 60 years of experience, we now have a simple, effective secret that makes putting the needle a breeze. Whether you’re hand-sewing a button or quilting a masterpiece, this technique will save you time and frustration.
✨ The Secret Trick: Using Moisture and a Steady Hand
The veteran seamstress swears by a combination of moistening the thread tip and stabilizing your hands for the smoothest threading process.
Here’s how she does it:
- Cut the Thread Cleanly
Use sharp scissors to cut the thread at a slight angle. A clean cut makes it easier for the thread to pass through the needle’s eye. - Moisten the Thread Tip
Lightly wet the end of the thread using a drop of water or even saliva. This helps to compact the fibers and reduce fraying. - Hold the Needle Steady
Pinch the needle firmly between your thumb and index finger with the eye facing up. Rest your hand on a flat surface for added stability. - Guide the Thread Through
Using your other hand, gently squeeze the moistened thread between your fingers and push it slowly through the eye.
