Falls out when soldering, not really a thru via unless it's thin, and soldering both sides makes it more likely to crack, apparently.

I still do it though.  For a thru via I just solder both sides of the component lead.

For heaps of wires the 'sewing' method works ok, you run a wire thru all the holes, solder then snip.
