I learned about this through a knitting site, strangely enough. It’s a very interesting (and really easy) method to thread a needle.
It’s also causing plenty of comment.
The video shows it being done with sewing thread and a sewing needle. I’m not sure if it will work as well with our thicker threads and bigger needles.
But I’m going to try tonight.

so good…now I would like to see how to tie a figure eight knot at the end of the thread!
This method works fine with a single strand of floss and regular sewing thread, however, for more than one strand of floss, ribbon, and some of the thicker threads I use – with great success – the wrap/pinch/pull/poke method.
1. Wrap the thread around the eye of the needle
2. Pinch the thread around the needle
3. Pull the thread straight up – keeping it pinched
4. Poke the thread through the eye of the needle
That is amazing. It may not work as well for needlepoint thread but yeah for threading everything else!!!!!Thanks for the video.
