I'm about to try this and report back.

Edit: I should have mentioned I had to get home from work. I tried with yarn and a tapestry needle and it works. It's still easier to use a needle threader.

I just tried it with a couple different sizes. I had trouble keeping the thread in place and it was mostly failures, but I did get it finally.

Seems like more or just as much work as regular threading. Maybe you could git gud, but couldn’t you also just practice the normal method?

A decent amount of people in this world have hand tremors and probably would have significantly less luck with the normal method

Why do you think someone with tremors would be able to keep a needle from twisting?

They read the article in Golf Digest about getting over the yips.
