How to Easily Thread 6 Strands of Embroidery Floss on a Needle

Trying to shove 6 strands of embroidery floss through an eye of a needle can be hard! In my efforts to find the best needle threader for embroidery, I found that most needle threaders aren’t equipped to handle that many strands of thread. So what can you do? I’ve discovered a little trick for how to easily thread 6 strands of embroidery floss on a needle, that I like to call the “double up method”. Basically it makes it so you only have to thread 3 strands of floss, but end up having 6 strands to stitch with.

Genius. And so simple! I just bought my first embroidery pack and am threading the needle by hand. I didn't even know that there are special needle threader tools! So, threading six strands takes FOREVER! I will buy the tool, but until then threading three at a time will be so much faster! Thank you.

Wow best of luck 👍

[@hajrazarrien8489]

Wow thank you so much dear... I was worried that how my daughter will do this one then I saw this video.... ❤❤👍👍

[@danielbaker9847]

This also eliminates the worry of the floss slipping out of the needle eye. Wow.

[@zartist]

Wow! Thank you so much for this info. I have been struggling all morning to thread my needle with six strands. Your idea worked perfectly for me. Bravo!

Thank you!! Newbie here 😊

[@alanatolstad4824]

Hmm. I'm imagining a very long trail of thread, depending on how much area you planned on embroidering. Having said that, this sure is a nifty way of manipulating a full 6 strands, if that is the desired intensity of sewing!

[@Maggita2015]

Thank you 😊

[@barefacedquestions]

Didn't know that I've been doing it all wrong. When a pattern calls for 6 strands of floss, I'd take literally 6 strands and spend 10 minutes push them through the needle. Thanks for sharing. Is double threading the convention in embroidery? I mean, when a pattern calls for 2 strands -> take 1 strand, 4 strands -> take 2 etc?

[@CutesyCrafts]

You haven't been doing it wrong, this is just a way to make it easier for 6 strands. I would only do this if threading 6 strands is a struggle. It makes it so you can't easily get the needle off the thread when it tangles, so it's a bit of a trade off. Definitely not the convention in embroidery, but it makes it more accessible to some people.

[@ileyhansen438]

Is breaking the floss up into 6 separate strands necessary, or can I just use the floss as normal?

[@CutesyCrafts]

You can just use it as normal. Some people like to separate it to give it a fuller look. I never do.
