FREE  Lesson 1 of 5

Threading a needle

Hold the needle so the eye faces you, bring the end of the thread to the eye and pass it through, then pull a short tail out of the other side, so the needle is threaded and ready to knot or sew. This is a simplified diagram of a needle and thread, not real hands.
