I have been having trouble threading slip floats with small, limp line. It does not go all the way through before it hangs up. Here's how I solved it. Large sewing needles for sewing dolls. Just thread line thru the needle eye. Insert in top of float. Pull it out bottom and take needle off. If the float is longer than the needle, just let go and let it drop down and out the bottom. Done without all that fumbling around for 5 minutes.
