Thread

The action of threading consists of making a strand pass through the hole of a pearl or bead, the eye of a needle, or a similar hole . The notion of thread, on the other hand, refers to the thread that is used to sew or join something .

ThreadFor example: “Can you help me thread the needle, please?” , “I can't find my glasses and I have a hard time threading without them,” “My aunt is a craftswoman and I help her thread the beads for the necklaces she makes.”

Among the synonyms of threading we find words such as insert, introduce, crimp or thread.

Threading is not a very complex task, although it requires precision. The threader must have good eyesight and control his pulse to fit the thread exactly into the small opening .

One of the most popular techniques to facilitate the act of threading is to wet the tip of the thread. The thread, in this way, becomes stiffer and finer. You can also use a threader to simplify the process.

Also, another trick to thread the needle in a simple way that has gone viral on social networks and is very simple. Specifically, it consists of placing the thread in the palm of the hand and placing the aforementioned needle on top of it. Then what remains to be done is to rub, little by little, these elements and in a matter of a few seconds the thread will effortlessly slip through the needle hole. All that's left to do is start sewing.

Threaders are devices that prevent thread from twisting. To do this, first pass a metal loop through the needle and then insert the thread into said loop. When removing the threader, the movement itself drags the thread and passes through the eye of the needle, which remains threaded.

In the same way, we cannot ignore that in sewing machines it is also necessary to thread the relevant needle. Specifically, to carry out this task you must follow these steps: unhook the needle, remove the bobbin, place the thread, remove the thread, start winding the bobbin, place the bobbin on the bobbin holder, turn on the winder, finish winding. wind the bobbin, remove the bobbin, engage the needle, unwind a few centimeters of thread, attach the bobbin, begin winding the thread, pull the thread, wrap the thread around the thread take-up lever, thread the needle and remove the thread from the coil.

Sometimes there are sewing machines that do not thread that way. In these cases, you must choose to follow the instructions established in the relevant manual.

In colloquial language , on the other hand, threading is used to refer to coordinating or articulating something : “The local team had a hard time threading the game due to the good defense of their rival,” “The detainee was so drunk that he could not string words together.” , “In his new book, the Chinese writer shows once again his mastery of weaving together personal experiences, fictional stories and journalistic chronicles.”
