How do I use 6-stranded embroidery floss?

Through experimentation, you will discover techniques that make threading feel effortless. This allows you to concentrate on your creative embroidery stitches. Below are some tips for simplifying the needle threading process.

Tools
Utilize a magnifying lamp, glasses, or a lightweight magnifying visor to see the eye of the needle clearly. Ample lighting is also beneficial.  
Consider employing a needle threading tool.  
Use beeswax or thread conditioner to lubricate older or frayed threads, facilitating easier threading.

Techniques
For the "lick and snip" method: Lightly moisten the end of your embroidery thread with saliva or a dab of water, then trim it with embroidery scissors to create a sharp, angled edge. This makes threading the needle much simpler!  

Roll the thread between your fingers to shape it into a point before inserting it into the needle's eye. This creates a sharper end.  
Patience is crucial. Take your time centering the thread within the eye and proceed slowly instead of forcefully pulling it through.

Tips & Tricks
If you're struggling to thread your needle, try using a larger needle. Hand embroidery should be enjoyable, not stressful.  
When working with six-stranded embroidery floss and needing an even number of strands, try this

method:  
Cut a double length of floss. For instance, if you usually cut 2 feet, cut a 4-foot piece instead.  
Remove half the strands you need from this length. If you want 2 strands, pull out 1 strand from the cut piece. If you need 6 strands, pull out 3.  
Thread these strands through the needle's eye.  
Center the needle among the strands and fold them in half to meet at the ends.  
Now, stitch! This doubled length will give you the desired number of strands. Once finished, you will need to cut the looped thread to complete your work.
