Bhojoo with perfect eyesight was finding it difficult to pass a thread through the eye of a needle. What can be the possible reason for this?

Answer 1

rs before making another attempt.

The 4-step “pinch the tip” method offers a simple, but significant improvement to this method. Here’s how it’s done:

Hold the thread between your thumb and index fingers.Pinch down on the thread between your fingers until you can barely see the tip of the thread between your fingertips. With your other hand holding the needle, bring the thread and needle eye together.Instead of trying to push the tip of the thread through the eye of the needle as in the typical method, here you push the eye of the needle onto the tip of the thread. Your fingertips give the thread support so it will not deflect or fray. Even if the thread is too thick, pinching the tip compresses it into a shape that fits the oblong shape of the needle eye.With a little practice you should be able to feel with your fingers when the needle is being threaded properly. Keeping your fingers pinched together to support the thread, follow through and push the needle between your fingertips. As you part your fingertips you should reveal a threaded needle.



When it comes to threading the needle on a sewing machine, this same method should work just as well. The only difference is now instead of holding the needle in your other hand, the needle is fixed in place. Approach the needle eye with the pinched thread tip as shown below.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Even if the person has good eyesight, the thin strands of the thread might spread out which inhibits it to insert into the needle.
2. Moreover, if the thread strand is thick than the needle, one might face problem in passing the thread into the needle.
