Knotty,
this might be a plain stupid idea but could you test on a cheap pearl with some bit of fishing line in it: take the thread zap, heat it and go into the hole to melt the line, and very fast go after it with a needle to push it through before it hardens to a lump. I donīt know whether it will work, but it is worth a try. BTW the same would be possible if you heat the top of an ordinary needle with small tip if you donīt want to risk the zapper.
