1Cut a piece of thread that's about 60 cm (24 in.) long.Ad
2Dampen the tread with water and squeeze it to make the strands form a sharp point. If your thread end is uneven, trim it with scissors.
3Hold the needle at eye level in your non-dominant hand (the hand you don't write with).
4Hold the thread in your dominant hand, about 5 cm (2 inch) from the needle tip.
5Guide the thread tip into the eye-hole of the needle. It may take a couple of tries. You got it!
6Pull the thread through the eye so a 10 cm (4 inch) "tail" hangs down. Leave it alone.
7Take the other, longer end of the thread between your thumb and pointer finger.
8Wrap it loosely around your pointer finger three times.
9Use the thumb on the same hand to roll and slide the thread off your pointer. It will form a tangled loop as you do this.
10Grasp the loose loop between your pointer and thumb and pull it down toward the end of the thread to form the knot. It may take a little practice.Ad
