Threading the needle has never been easier – all you need is a toothbrush!
It happens to all of us that we have to mend a fabric or sew on a button, and it all starts with threading the needle.
It doesn’t matter if we are experts in sewing or not: this is perhaps the most complex operation.
As the years go by, then, close vision becomes increasingly blurry and the task seems increasingly difficult.
However, in this period of economic difficulties, it becomes important to save some small expenses and we do not want to depend on expert hands for small patches or tasks that we can safely solve on our own.
Also for this reason, the needle threader was invented, to help and support us when needed! It is a very useful tool, available in haberdashery or tool stores, in the shape of a medal and made of metal. Below we explain how to use it. Attached to the coin, you will find a giant, elastic and flexible wire eye, inside which you must insert the eye of your needle. Now, thread the thread into the eye of the needle threader and now, pull the needle threader through the eye so that the thread does not get lost and that’s it.
Too complicated?! A little yes, let’s be honest. But, above all, if we do not have this little helper at our disposal, how can we speed up everything without getting lost in a thousand useless attempts?
Simple, with a toothbrush! Don’t you believe us? Now we tell you the trick!
Threading the needle has never been easier – all you need is a toothbrush!
If you also get discouraged every time you have to sew, not so much by the action itself, but by the idea of threading the needle, then equip yourself with a toothbrush (or one to clean your nails). It will be very good for you!
Place it on a table or counter, with the bristles facing the ceiling. Now place the floss over the bristles, grab the needle, place it on the toothbrush with the eye facing the floss and use it to push the floss between the bristles. They will be the ones to introduce it into the eye with extreme ease.
Brilliant, right?
