A seamstress with 60 years of experience told me this secret!
Threading a needle may seem like a simple task, but it is not always that easy, especially when it comes to thin needles or thicker threads.
Our grandmothers, with their vast experience in sewing, knew some effective home methods for threading the needle, and that knowledge can be very useful today.
Below are some very practical home tricks to do it in a simple but effective way. You can also see it in the following video from the Inova ou inventa channel:
Homemade items
Threads (for threading)
Needles
1 Toothbrush (no longer used)
Empty blister pack or empty tablet
Swab
Cable
Thin paper or cloth (piece)
Step-by-step procedure
With the toothbrush, simply cross the thread from one side to the other of the brush and take the needle from the side of the eye where it is threaded, press a little and the thread is inserted through that channel.
