  4. Pass the needle through the bottom of the snag loop.
  5. Wrap the thread around the sharp end of the needle.
  6. Then, pass the needle through the fabric. The snag loop will also be pulled through by the textured part of the needle. Keep pulling it through, until both the needle and the snag loop are on the inside of the item.
