Thread: a great tip i discovered!

Way to go!!! Necessity is the mother of invention. lol

Great tips - necessity truly is the Mother of invention. It's so frustrating to not be able to thread needles as easily as we used to. Maybe the eyes are being made smaller. Just a thought. LOL.

Thank you for sharing.

This goes to show you how simple my mind is, I thought you dipped the end of the needle into the fray check, just call me "amelia bedelia". (I think I'm past intervention help).

Wow, another use for the bottles of Fraycheck that I have just sitting in a drawer. Thanks for the tip. Will put a bottle in my EPP kit

Thanks for the great tip. Very clever.

Oh you clever girl. Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing.

Also broke 2 of the cheap ones from walmart, so this morn I tried dipping the end in fray check and letting it dry and was able to thread 12 with no threader!!!!!

How long does it take to dry?

Thanks for the tip...
