How Can a Loom Operator Quickly Thread a Needle?

Fold a strand of hair in half, then twist the folded end slightly with your fingers. Insert the twisted end into the needle's eye, then pass the thread through the loop formed by the hair. Finally, pull the hair gently to draw the thread directly through the needle's eye.
I've picked up some quick tricks when dealing with automotive wiring harness routing. I remember at the beginning it always took me a lot of time and effort, but now practice makes perfect: first, clean up the engine compartment to avoid debris snagging the wires; then use a small routing tool, like a fish tape or a dedicated plastic guide strip, apply some lubricating silicone oil, and gently pull it through—never force it to avoid damaging the insulation. For models with multiple wire harnesses, I first mark them by color for distinction, then route them step by step, starting with the thicker wires before the thinner ones. Regular practice on simple models to simulate the process naturally improves speed. Additionally, after routing, always test the circuit continuity to ensure no short circuits. Make it a habit to take notes during each inspection, and experience will accumulate quickly. This method works for all types of vehicles and has saved me a lot of time.
