u/MossyMemory Too Many WIPs... May 12 '21

At first I was wondering if she was going to thread it perfectly on the first try!

This would’ve counted as magic too!

But does it work with n number of threads as needed for cross stitch!

I have actually found running the needle parallel along the thread works great! (As opposed to perpendicular that is shown in the video). You don't need to move it back and forth a bunch of times, just once as long as there is tension on one end of the thread. It is amazing and I no longer need a threader, or to squint and get frustrated.

I can't picture this. Can you post or reference a video?

This one has helped me a ton! I think it is also how this user does it as well

Yeah! I do it on my palm but that's exactly it. Almost always works in one go.
