The Easiest Way to Thread a Needle

It is very important to have clear eyesight whenever you are sewing. You need to be able to see properly to make accurate seam allowances, line up the seams, and cut the fabrics. One of the most common problems people with poor eyesight experience is having trouble threading a needle.

Sometimes, you can’t thread the needle no matter how many times you try, just like my grandma when she was still alive. My grandma loved to sew even if she was already old. She still sewn clothes even if she was already 90 years old. Her only problem was she couldn’t thread the needle which was common for her age at that time, so she always asked me to do it for her. Whenever I was done threading the needle, she would always reply with the sweetest thank you while smiling. Writing this makes me miss my grandma so much. I wish I had known this hack sooner and told her about it. I am sure she will be amazed by this simple trick.
