What you need

Try wet licking the ends of the thread so that the fibers stick together.

Thread the tip through the needle hole. Hold the needle between the thumb and index finger, while holding the end of the thread with the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Then push the thread end through the needle hole.

Create another needle piercing method. For example, it may be easier to grasp the end of the thread and push the needle hole through the thread with the other hand.

Different ways: You can fold the end of the thread upside down to create a small loop. Then push this tiny ring through the pinhole.

Try a needle piercing tool if you are using a very fine needle. If you have difficulty with needle piercing, especially when the needle is small, buy a needle piercing tool at a craft store. Grasp the big end of the piercing tool and thread the wire loop through the needle hole. Then you thread the thread through the metal wire loop before pulling the loop back through the needle hole.

The needle piercing tool is very useful if you use a thread that is frequently tasseled when needing to be inserted.

Pull the thread through the needle hole to form a tail. Hold the end of the thread that has just passed through the hole and pull a minimum 5 cm length. Pull through such a length to avoid it slipping back through the needle hole.

It is up to you to take the length of the segment that just pulls through the hole, as long as it feels easy to handle.

Part 2 of 3: Thread the double thread through the needle

Cut a thread that is at least 60 cm long. You can cut longer depending on the amount just used for your job. Remember, you will be doubling the thread, so you will need to pull out a length of thread twice the amount needed.
- For example, if you need to lattice a sock, pull out a length of 100 cm thread and then fold it into a double thread 50 cm long.
Fold the thread in half and hold the ends together. Clamp the ends of the thread between your thumb and index finger, so the thread is folded in half and forms a double thread.
Advice: Working with the needle and thread will be easier if you work in a well-lit place.You can sit next to a table lamp for the best light.
Push both ends of the thread through the needle hole. Imagine you are inserting a normal needle, but make sure both ends of the thread go through the needle hole. Then, hold the ends of the thread between the index finger and the thumb and pull the thread through the needle hole until the end of the thread (loop end) is about 10 cm from the needle hole.
Pass the needle through the noose to tie the knot. Pass the needle through the noose and continue spinning the thread so that the loop forms a knot at the base of the needle. Pull the thread slightly so that the noose forms a small knot at the base of the needle (near the needle hole). Then you will tie the knot at the end of the thread.
- Creating a small knot at the base of the needle will prevent the needle from sliding back and forth between the double thread while you stitch.

Part 3 of 3: Knotting buttons

Wrap the end of the thread around your middle finger. Use your thumb to keep the tip of the thread fixed on the middle finger. Then wrap the thread around the middle finger to form a complete circle around the middle finger.
- If you are using a double thread hold the two threads together and wrap both threads around your finger.
Advice: To create friction and make knotting easier, wet your thumb and middle finger or wet your fingers before you start wrapping.
Roll the thread 2-3 turns to form a multi-layered knot. Hold the thread between your thumb and index finger. Then slowly roll your index finger toward the base of your thumb.
- The thread will wrap in layers between the two fingers and become thicker.
Clamp the thread firmly after being rolled between two fingers. Instead of letting the thread slide away from your finger, squeeze the thread with your thumb and middle finger.
Tens on the thread to create a knot. Use two fingers to grip the thread while pulling the thread with the other hand in the opposite direction. This will cause the end of the thread to curl into a knot.
Different ways: If you want to create a tidier knot, especially when using a thick thread, the end of the thread can be threaded through the loop that just wrapped around your finger. Thread the end of the thread through the noose one more time and pull to create a double knot.

Advice

To insert the sewing machine needle, you should read the instruction manual of the machine. Most sewing machines require pulling down the thread from the top of the machine before passing it through the front of the needle.
