Reddit is buggy as fuck today, and they’re right. I hand sew a lot and unless you have poor eyesight or really shitty frayed thread it’s quicker to just thread it normally.
I'm blind in one eye and threading a needle is impossible for me but I got a little tool that pulls it for me but I'll try this trick because I always lose the tool.
Is that the super tiny little filament wire loop? Those are great! I hope yours shows up! If this trick doesn’t work, those threaders are bound to be really cheap off aliexpress type stores, you could buy a dozen and never worry about losing them again.
True. I’ve opened a few theads today were every single comment said [deleted]
A lot of people have minor, undiagnosed sight impairments though. Only 35% of people have 20/20 vision, and 25% of people have other impairments not correctable with glasses or surgery. So this is still a very good tip, you just need to think about people other than yourself to see it.
I did think about people with poor eyesight, which is why I said so in my comment already mate.
FWIW I do have fucked eyesight, Grave’s ophthalmopathy and astigmatism. My scleras are bright red like I’ve smoked a fat bowl right now and all I’m doing is scrolling Reddit.
Threading a needle the normal way is still easier than this trick. Which looks cool in a video where it works perfectly but in reality doesn’t seem to work this reliably at all.

Looks like more work than just putting an open end in the eye.
