This tool is used if your thread is thick, prone to unraveling, or if you have poor vision or hand-eye coordination. To utilize the needle threader, insert it into the eye of the needle, then place the end of your thread through the wire loop of the threader. Gently pull the threader out of the eye of the needle, leaving the thread looped through it. This technique simplifies the threading process, making it more accessible and efficient, especially for those with specific challenges.

For parallel lines, bring the needle back down through the opposite buttonhole, then repeat for the remaining two holes. Alternatively, for a cross-over pattern, bring the needle diagonally across the button to the next hole, then back down through the opposite hole. Repeat this process to form an "X" pattern over the button. Both methods provide secure attachment; choose the one that suits your preference and the garment's style.
