Another clever trick is to cut a small piece of paper or thin fabric, fold it in half, and place the thread in the fold. Then, insert the folded tip of the paper or fabric through the eye of the needle. Once the paper or fabric is threaded, the thread follows it easily. This method is especially useful for those who have difficulty with precision.
The artisanal methods of threading the needle, passed down from generation to generation, are a sample of the ingenuity and skill of our grandmothers. These tricks not only make the threading process easier, but they also connect us to a centuries-old sewing tradition.

If you ever have trouble threading a needle, try some of these methods and discover some grandmotherly wisdom in your own sewing!
