🧵 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Guide the Thread Through
    Using your other hand, gently squeeze the moistened thread between your fingers and push it slowly through the eye.
