Hi all this is Dana here, in this video I'm going to be showing you how to thread
your needle using various types of needle threaders and also by hand. I've
actually had quite a few emails recently from people who wanted to start cross
stitching, but they didn't actually know how to thread their needle. They've never
been taught and nobody in their family knows how to stitch. So I thought I would
address that with various types of needle threaders and also how I do it
by hand, which is how I learned how to thread the needles. But first I'm sure
lots of you will recognize this, this is a generic needle threader. You get them
in a lot of craft kits and whatnot. This is a tapestry needle, and in another
video I'll be going over different types of needles that you can use for
stitching. But for this one it's just about how to thread the needle. So this
one is pretty simple to use, the only issue with these ones is
they're not that well made and the little, where the little filaments, metal
filaments are anchored here, they pull out really easily. So you have to be
quite gentle with them. But the way you do it is you put your little filament
through the eye of the needle, get your thread, depending on whether using one
strand or two you put that many strands through the eye. Put that through there
like that, pull it just long enough, sorry the thread so getting a little bit
staticky, pull it through enough so that it's not going to fall out, and then you
gently pull it through. And hey presto, there's your needle threaded. So it's the same
if you did two strands, exactly the same technique. That's using this little metal
one here. Another one that I just recently purchased is this one, it's a
Clover, it's called Clover, that's the brand name. Here's the little package here. So
it's quite neat, and it's this is designed for tapestry needles and wider
needles, and it's also really good if you're using thick threads. You can see
it's quite sturdy, so the little metal things aren't going to come out. I mean I'm
sure you could pull them out if you really really tried, but I wouldn't
obviously try that. But it's great if you're trying to thread bigger needles
with thicker threads or more difficult threads, like say if they're fluffy or
something like that. So the same thing, you'd put the tip of your threader
through, push it through until it catches, this one's
nice you can just kind of let the needle hang. Again you'd grab your thread, pull
your thread through, pull it through enough and then pull it back. It's got a
little bit of a spring to it, so just be aware of that when you're pulling it
through. And then catch one of the ends so you don't pull it all the way through
again. So yeah, so that's the Clover one. I quite like that one, it's got a nice
little cap too so you can keep it protected and so you don't accidentally
sit on it as you're working or whatnot. And it's got a little hanger here too so
you can hang it onto a necklace or hang it onto a key fob or your scissor
fob whatever you tend to want to use when you're stitching. So that's that one, here
is one called a LoRan. So this is kind of cool,
that's the package there. This is metal so obviously this isn't going to work for
really fine needles but it is really neat and it is very sturdy. I've
heard a lot of stitchers say they really really like this one. So you can,
depending on the size of the eye of your needle you can either put it through it the
bigger end or the smaller end. But the nice thing about that is you can
actually put it quite a way through. The nice thing about this one is you don't
have to thread it through the hole, you just catch it, you just catch your
floss so in this case get your floss so you just hook it around a little hook
like that. Hold your needle, pull it through and obviously catch one of the
other ends so you don't pull it all the way through, and hey presto. So that's
actually a really really handy one if you're using bigger needles, like I said
this wouldn't work for something like a beading needle, it's not quite small
enough. And the last one, the last threader I'll show you. I'll show you these really cool ones [Dritz looped threader]
these are actually designed, it's a really really handy for if you have a
serger sewing machine that finishes up the edges or if you have like a sewing
machine, these are really handy because they're really really fine and delicate
as you can see. And you can see there's a little tiny loop at the end so
that's actually what anchors your floss so it doesn't slide out as you're
trying to pull it through your needle. So these are great, they actually do fit
into beading needles but depending on the type of thread you're using it might
be too thick to actually pull it through the beading needle once the thread is in
there. So you'd have to try, there's various sizes of beading needles but
yeah, it is really handy. It's very good for very fine eyed needles. So again I'll
grab my my big tapestry needle here, feed that through, grab my thread, feed that
through, and you can actually give it a little pull and that will actually
anchor it into that little tiny loop there. And then you can see you
can move this all over the place and the threads are not going anywhere.
Pull it through and then I just pull it out. Tada! Amazing,
I know it's like magic. Yeah so these are actually really cool, especially to use a
lot of finer needles and you're having a hard time seeing. Also if if you're using
finer needles and you're having a hard time seeing the eye, a magnifying, either a
magnifying glass or like a little handheld one or like a magnifying light
that a lot of stitchers use, that's really really handy when you're threading
needles. Another little tip is to actually get like a white card,
like this card, and put it behind the needle eye, and you can see how much easier
it is to see that eye and exactly where it is. All right so what I'm going to show you
is how I thread the needle, which is folding it in half. So if you are using
the loop method, I've got some videos about that to start your threads,
I'll put a link in the description below. What you're going to do is you're going to get
your threads so that the same length either side, so that the same distance
apart, they're together, get your loop. There's a couple ways you can do this. If
your eye is big enough, obviously you can just slip the loop through the
eye like that easily enough. If the eye's a little bit smaller, there's one trick
that my mum taught me when I was learning how to sew as a kid. So if you
grab, my nails might be in the way, basically what you're doing is you're
folding your floss over the eye and you're gonna fold it really tight. So
you're actually pulling this quite tightly and then squishing your fingers
together as tight as you can, well not like as tight as you can but really
tight, so you're basically squashing the floss. Then you can push sort of carefully
like push the eye over those little ends and you can push it through. Obviously
catch your ends and there you go, there's your threaded loop. So this is how I
actually thread pretty much all of my needles, I do that, I do this little
folding method over the eye of the needle and for me it works really really
well. It does take a bit of practice and if you're using slightly thicker threads
with a slightly smaller needle it might be really tricky to do. But just give it
a go, and yeah so I actually don't use needle threaders unless a needle's
being particularly difficult or I'm using a specialty thread that's getting hard.
Another thing that you can do that a lot of stitchers do is they will get their
floss, a good tip, if you're threading it straight through the eye of the needle
like that is to get your scissors and make sure you've got a nice sharp end.
You can even cut it at a bit of an angle and that will kind of almost make
a point on the end, and that will actually make its threading a lot easier.
Obviously this is a really giant needle for this, but that'll make threading a
lot easier. Another little tip too is if you're threading a needle and it's
proving to be kind of difficult, I'll grab another needle as a demonstration,
it's a little easier to see. So you can see how the needle has a little channel
in it, this one has it on both sides, a little groove on both sides. That is
actually meant to guide your thread so it's easier to
thread. So if you're threading it this way, you push it right
through there and that little channel actually guides your thread. So
that's what that little groove is for in case you never knew, and it also sort of
helps protect the [thread] from getting chafed as it's going through your fabric.
If you are having issues check and see which side
of the needle that little groove is on and that will help you as well.
Another method that some people do is they actually lick the end of their
thread and put that through, that does help actually keep it together. The only
problem with doing that is is it can actually rust out your needle eye, in
which case you might find that your threads start getting a little bit
frayed or they start getting knotty. It's because the inside of your needle
eye is actually starting to get worn away and it's starting to
slowly shred the texture of your floss and it can actually break your floss as
well. Another alternative to licking your ends is (and also don't lick your ends if
you're using hand dyed floss, you don't know what chemicals you might be ingesting),
this stuff is Thread Heaven, it's a it's a thread lubricant. Now I
know people are going absolutely bananas right now because Thread Heaven is
closing up shop, they're not selling this anymore. But basically all this is is a
silicone, so I've heard the silicone ear plugs that you can get for like swimmers,
that's exactly the same stuff. It's like a silicone putty so you basically just
run your run your floss through it. You can also there's a brand called Thread
Magic and that's actually got a better container than this one anyway because it's
got little slots and the sides you can drag your floss through it.
It's basically a lubricant wax, beeswax also works,
I wouldn't use candle wax but beeswax can work as well. It just basically
smooths the fibers of your floss down a little bit. It's actually really handy
for certain metallics and satin threads because they're a little bit slippery, so
it helps make them a little more, I don't want to say sticky, but it helps
give them a little bit more texture so they don't slide around your needle as
much and give you as many problems. And this stuff doesn't affect your thread at
all, it doesn't affect how it ages
it doesn't dirty or your fabric or anything like that.
I have heard of people using one of these for dark threads and one for
lighter threads but you know that's up to you. So that's pretty much it, that's
all my tips for how to thread a needle. If you have any other ones please feel
free to leave them in the comments below. I love learning new things and and other
people obviously can learn as well by reading the comments. If you have any
questions please contact me, if you see the little link that's going to pop up
on your right you'll see that there's some free patterns available on my site
so you can practice stitching and just generally have some more little projects
to stitch up. And that's it for now, talk to you later, bye for now!
