A seamstress with 60 years of experience reveals the secret to putting the needle effortlessly (Page 2 ) | May 24, 2025

Prepare the thread and needle: cut the end of the thread with a sharp scissor to make it straight and uniform.
Moisten the thread with a cotton swab: slightly wet a cotton swab with water or saliva and pass the end of the thread. This trick helps to compact the fibers and prevent them from fraying.
Approach the thread to the eye: keep the thread as close as possible to the eye of the needle, keeping it firmly between the thumb and index.
