Thread: More needle threading help

I got DH to take a few pics so maybe this will help. I learned this from cross-stitch (diagram I think) instructions years ago and have used it ever since.

Takes some practice and sometimes it takes me more than one try but it is a LOT easier than threading the needle on my old Singer Genie ;-)

put thread between finger and thumb

pull down until just invisible but remember where it is

slide eye of needle between pinched fingers right were you put the thread

as needle eye slides over thread you can slowly unpinch

then grab the thread poking out above the eye and pull it through

amazing!!

This works, and saves a lot of time! Thanks for reminding me that I can do this!

IT's magic! thanks

Yes! I do this a lot when I forget my reading glasses LOL

oh, goodie. i seem to have trouble threading even with my readers on.

it is magic yea

Me too! LOL

And if you wet the NEEDLE, not the thread, it works really well!
