Go to a sewing shop and ask for a needle threader. I'm serious!! It's a little wire device that is thin enough and rigid enough to put through the eye of the needle. Once it's pushed through it opens up. All you do is put the thread through the much wider, wire threader and pull it back through the needle. Wang bang your needle is threaded and ready, darn it!
Take a little piece of fuse wire and twist it into a loop. Push the loop throught the needle (it's easier than thread) put your thread through the loop and pull the loop back out, bringing the thread with it.
The easiest thing to do is to get what they call a Mary Jane. It is a small, flexible, wire loop that you push through the eye of the needle. Then you thread your thread through the larger wire loop. After you thread it, slowly pull it back through the needle eye and, voila! your needle is threaded. If you don't have this item, cut the thread with scissors. Make sure there aren't any fuzzy strands on it. Moisten the thread with spit and carefully thread the needle.
Cut the length you want...keeping in mind that your going half that after going through the needle.
Take one end of the thread and put it in your mouth (don't laugh) close your lips around the thread tightly and pull out. The saliva will make the ends of the thread smooth so its easier to get through the hole in the needle head. (if its still has pieces out, put in your mouth and then pull out through your teeth) Hang on to the end of the thread with just a little at the end to put threw the eye of the needle (the hole). Push it through and then grab on the other side. Pull that side till it is even with the other end of the thread. The needle should be in the middle of the thread string. Tie a double knot on two ends tieing them together. You ready to sew.
make your own needle threader by removing the paper from a supermarket twist tie. Bend it sharply and stick the bent "loop" through the needle. Place the thread in the loop and pull loop and thread through the needle. Voila!
