Easier way to thread needles ...
I have arthritis as well as tremors in my hands. At our last Quilt Shop Hop one of the LQS's demonstrated the Bohn needle threader. I can actually use it! It had a place for thin needles and one for larger needles. The needle doesn't have to lined up just so to be threaded.
Just got mine today. My friends won't have to help me so much now. Yeah!

Just got one and love it. Pricey but totally worth it. My mother used to
have something very similar. I know she bought it in France years ago.
Might have been a Bohin. Unfortunately it got "legs" in very short order.

I picked one up at the Houston show a few years ago, and it's the best thing ever. Better than the other brands of needle threaders I've tried - it automatically turns your needle to the correct position, and has two sides - one for regular needles and one for those hard-to-thread applique needles!

I bought one 5 years ago at Road to CA. Never having had a needle threader before, I had nothing to compare to. I have to tell you this has turned out to be the best thing ever. It has lasted without ever failing. I am amazed - these little gadgets look sort of frail, but they're not. I am sure I will never have to replace it. It just keeps going....

I have the Bohin needle threader and the Clover. Both work well, but both have quirks. One of my friends gave her Bohin to me because she couldn't get it to work for her, but I babied it and use it for threading my applique needles. Oddly enough, I use the large needle side for my smaller needles as well as my larger ones.
