Well, what would you do if someone released a trick that will change the sewing game forever? One that, despite being so simple, no one has ever thought of? Someone has, and it is a gigantic time saver.

My German grandmother was a seamstress. 70 years ago she showed me how to thread needles just like this and make knots by rolling the thread between her fingers.

Maybe it’ll work on my girlfriend.../8^)

I still have the one my grandmother used....and use it.

Been using those for years, need them more now since I’ve gotten older...

[mabarker1]

They can also double as an Eyeball Scratcher 🙄

LOL 😲

I have the good, old plastic needle threader stand :-)

And, my sewing machine has the auto needle threader. BIG help!

I notice it’s kind of a large needle.

That was my thought as well. Performing the prescribed threading routine on a small needle would be problematic.

[adorno]

I have an easier solution to that “problem”, and a lot of people would agree.

Whenever anything rips or tears or pulls apart, it’s time to get a new one. People gave up on sawing holes in their socks, and many have done the same with their regular clothes.

That’s illegal. I think. It’s gotta be. At least cheating.

eye of the needle looks bigger than average, so I doubt this works often with smaller eyes of needles

Made a good roach clip

That size eye on a needle is easy to thread - it’s the ones that seem smaller than the thread that are tough - wonder if it works with them.....at my current rate of sewing little tears, etc., I’ll know sometimes in the next 15 months....
