Threading a needle might seem like a simple task, but it can be tricky, especially when dealing with fine needles or thick threads. Our grandmothers, with their wealth of sewing experience, knew some clever home tricks that made the process easier—and these timeless methods are still incredibly useful today.
Here are a few practical, easy-to-follow tips to help you thread a needle:
Toothbrush Method
Take an old toothbrush and cross the thread from one side to the other. Then, hold the needle at the eye and gently press it through the channel created by the thread on the toothbrush. The thread will slip through the needle’s eye with ease.
Empty Blister Pack Trick
Take an empty tablet blister pack and cut a small strip. Make a tiny slit along one side and leave a pointy tip. Place the thread in the slit, then pass the needle through the same hole. This will help guide the thread through the needle’s eye safely.
