How I thread 12 strands of embroidery floss

How I thread 12 strands of floss in my needle...

The easiest way to to do this is to start by threading 6 strands (there are 6 strands in a skein) through your needle's eye.  Then you take the 2 tail ends and tie them together in a knot.  Viola!  You are now ready to stitch with 12 strands of floss.

And because I know I will be asked - I am using this size 5 Embroidery Needle in this video.
