The toothbrush method: Use the stiff bristles of an old toothbrush to steady the thread near the eye of the needle, helping guide it through.
Swab tube technique: Slide the thread through the hollow part of a cotton swab or a narrow tube. Then push the needle eye into the other end to catch the thread.
Moisten the thread tip: Lightly wet the thread tip to keep fibers together and easier to push through the needle eye.
Cut the thread tip clean: Make a sharp diagonal cut at the end of the thread to create a point.
Use bright lighting: Good light helps your eyes focus on the needle eye and thread.
