Unexpectedly, it turned out that with a bottle cap, you can quickly thread the needle lead, no matter how thick the thread is, it can be threaded through.
Sewing is a part of family life, when it comes to sewing. We can't afford to spend money to have it repaired just because of the slightest thread on our clothes, because it will not only waste money, but also ruin the original style of the garment. As a result, many families still maintain the habit of using needles and threads for sewing.
However, for many people, especially middle-aged and elderly people and friends with presbyopia, threading has become a big annoyance. Due to vision loss or eye strain, it is difficult for them to accurately thread the tiny thread through the pinhole. Whenever this happens, people feel extremely irritated, and some people even give up sewing because of the difficulty of threading. In order to make it easy for everyone to complete the sewing work, today I will share with you a few practical tips for threading the needle.
1. Scotch tape method. We can prepare a small piece of scotch tape to wrap the thread that needs to be threaded in the scotch tape. Since transparent adhesive has a certain hardness and is thin, while the thread is soft, it is not easy to pass through the pinhole. Wrap the thread in clear glue, trim it into a pointed corner, and easily pass through the pinhole. Although this method is a bit more cumbersome, it is much faster to operate than threading it directly.
2. Friction threading method. Place the end of the thread in the palm of your hand, try to place it in the palm of your hand, and then aim the end of the thread with a pinhole and rub it vigorously. By rubbing the heat, the thread will be absorbed by the pinhole, so as to achieve the effect of threading. This method is simple and does not require additional tools, and only uses the friction between the pinhole and the thread end to complete the threading.
3. Toothbrush assisted method. Find a toothbrush that you don't use, put the thread on the toothbrush, and gently press down with the pinhole alignment wire, and the thread will be squeezed out by the bristles of the toothbrush, thus passing through the pinhole. This method is particularly suitable for those who have difficulty threading due to vision problems.
4. Self-made needle threading leader. Prepare two brooms or bristles on a brush, fold the bristles in half and pinch them into a pointed shape. Place it on a bottle cap or coin to make a simple threading needle leader. With this tool, no matter how small the pinhole is, it can be easily threaded through the thread. This method requires a bit of hand-crafting skill, but the resulting needle threader is both practical and eco-friendly.
Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you can choose the one that suits you according to your needs and preferences. Don't know which one you prefer?
