What do you call the part where the thread goes through the needle?

Put the end of the thread through the 'eye' (hole) of the needle.
But, if you're having trouble:
1. Use scissors to trim the end of the thread at an angle.
2. Make sure your needle is rust free and has nothing gumming up its eye.
3. Dampen the end of the thread, either with your mouth or with a damp thumb and forefinger.
4. Hold the end of the thread between thumb and forefinger so that it sticks out only a little, is pointing at you, and you can see it clearly.
5. Move the needle away from you and onto the end of the thread. You'll have an itty bitty end sticking through.
6. Carefully grasp the end of the thread, and pull through to desired length.
If you're having even more trouble:
1. Get yourself a needle-threader. They often appear in prepackaged sewing kits, and in sewing stores. They consist of a small handle holding a diamond of fine, flexible wire.
2. Put the point of the wire diamond into the eye of the needle, and gently push through. It flexes shut to go through the eye and opens when fully through.
3. Put the end of thread through the open diamond.
4. Pull the diamond out of the needle's eye, bringing the end of thread with it.
If you're threading a sewing machine:
Follow most of the steps above, except that you can't move the needle. Most machines are threaded front-to-back, but it's a good idea to check your manual. If the thread breaks a lot, one of the possible reasons is a needle threaded the wrong way.
Now bring in the camel!

Why needle not able to draw up thread?
The needle does not draw up the bobbin thread. In actuality, there are two "needles" used. The one you see, that moves up and down into the fabric, and another, underneath, which pushes the bobbin thread through a "loop" in the thread from the top needle. When the top needle begins to raise up, it pulls the threads tight. If your problem is that the top needle goes through the fabric, but does not "sew" it, first check to make sure the bobbin has thread in it. If it does, then check to make sure the machine is threaded properly. If it is, then the problem sounds like the bottom "needle" is not meeting the top needle at the precise time to push the bobbin thread through the loop. This is called being "out of timing". Just like in a car, all the cylinders have to be in the right place at the right time to make the engine run. Same thing in a sewing machine. The needles and the thread have to meet in the right place at the right time to work properly. If you are out of timing, unless you know alot about your machine, it will require a repairman to remedy this situation.
What is the meaning and function of thread guide?
Thread guides lead the thread in this order: Thread Spool to Tension Discs to Take-Up Lever to Needle. A machine is threaded with the take-up lever in its highest position and the presser bar lifted. Generally, the thread guides provide a path that keeps the thread from crossing over itself. From the spool, any thread guides mounted on the top cover are first, back to front. On the face plate (front of machine) any thread guides that sit to the right of the tension discs are threaded before inserting thread around & between the discs. If there be any thread guide that is BOTH to the left of the tension discs AND right of the take up lever, the thread would go there next. My fairly typical Japanese Zigzag Machine does not have a thread guide between the tension discs and the take-up lever, but if there were one, I would call it the "Tension to Take-Up Lever Thread Guide." From there the thread passes right-to left through the hole of the take up lever, and then down through all thread guides mounted to the left of the take-up lever. Lastly, the thread goes down through a needle clamp thread guide and through the eye of the needle. Not a short answer, but I hope it addresses your question.
What does the needle do on a sewing machine?
It goes up and down, carrying the thread down to the bobbin area, where it gets locked into a stitch.
How do you thread international 430 hay baler?
Twine comes out of the twine box, through the tensioner, through a couple of ceramic rings then 1 piece of twine through each needle eye. Once through the needle eye it goes back along the chamber floor and tie it off to something sturdy. The baler will thread the twine into the knotters at the first cycle. A common problem on old balers is the needle eyes have grooves warn in them. You should use a round file to file out the groove so the twine has a smooth surface to run over. A rough surface will cut the twine.
How do you thread a Massey Ferguson 9 square baler?
both pieces of twine come out of the twine chute, then under the tensioner on the outside wall of the twine chunte, through the slack springs, down through the insulator, then one string goes to the near side needle, and the other goes through the far side insulator, then threw the far side needle. Once they come out of the needles, tie them off to the round tubing at the bottom of the bailer. Hope that helps!
True and false diameter of the spinal needle is inversely proptional with headache?
You can have a headache with a small or large spinal needle. Depends more on how fast the medication is pushed through the needle and how much medication goes through.
How do you sew on a sequin?
First, you need a hook hair needle and hair thread. You must wash and dry your hair. Then have then section you want extentions in braided in cornrows. Then, you take the extentions and measure them according to whatever section you want the hair sewn into. Cut the extention to fit the measurement. You then place the extenions on the cornrow and sew around the cornrow and the extention.
How do you load a front loading bobbin?
I'm assuming you're talking about winding a bobbin on a sewing machine? If so, there is a post similar to the one for thread (near it) that you put the empty bobbin on. Then you put your spool of thread where it goes on the machine. You wind your thread from the spool of thread to the bobbin (there's usually a little chart on your machine, but if not, the thread goes through a hook or two and then you wind it about 4 times around the bobbin (clockwise). In newer machines you then push the bobbin toward a holder type thing that is near it. This disengages the needle from going up and down and lets the machine wind the thread as you push the pedal. On older machines, you have to turn the handle of the machine toward you and it disengages the needle, allowing the bobbin to be filled when you press the pedal. Hope this helps! You could probably google your sewing machine name and how to thread a bobbin and maybe get a diagram.
What are hooks and eyes?
if it pertains to knitting and sewing the hook is used for crocheting and the eye is the hole that the thread goes through on a needle to sew if you are thinking about hardware hooks are those hooks swinging into the little metal ring called the eye screwed into the wall to secure a door shut
What is a sewing bobbin?
A sewing bobbin is a small spool of thread that goes underneath the needle and sewing platform. It provides the lower thread for the sewing machine. Different models of machines use different bobbins, but most machines require you to create the bobbin yourself.If you'd like to see a picture of a typical sewing machine bobbin, visit the "related link" below.If you look at a diagram of the way a sewing machine works, you can see that when the needle goes down to the bobbin, the bobbin thread is pushed around the upper thread, and that is how the two pieces of fabric are joined together.The upper thread goes along the top of the seam, and the bobbin thread goes along the bottom of the seam.
What do they use for industrial piercings and how do they do it?
For industrial piercings, a needle, usually 16 gauge, is used. The ear is marked so the piercer knows where to put the needle, and the needle goes through both pieces of cartilage. Then, the bar is inserted through the needle, the needle is removed, and the other end is screwed onto the ball. This video shows how its done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfPM-esijW
What if the needle goes through the fifth layer of skin can you get ink poisoning?
If the needle goes through your stratum corneum (5th layer) your chances of getting ink poisoning are fairly high, but it depends on how many times the neele penetrates throught to that 5th layer/ how much ink is inserted into a person's bloodstream.
