All the credit goes to BadmintonCentral.com member and very skillful stringer PeteLSD for teaching me this.
There are many approaches to threading a cross string through a shared grommet:
1) Cutting the tip of the string to have a pointed end. Use needle nose pliers to push the string through the shared grommet.
2) Using a String Mover
3) Using an Awl
I will show you:
4) Using Tooth Floss
Directions:
1) Get at least 6 inches of tooth floss (waxed or non waxed).
2) Take one end and tie a knot to the other such that a loop is created like so: [ ]---
3) Thread the loose end through the shared grommet until the loop is now on both sides of the grommet
4) Put your string into the loop.
5) Pull the loose end of the floss such that it pulls the loop and the string inside through the shared grommet!
6) Done!
