Forgot to mention, since I learned that and do it, it really does just go in the eye of the needle.
I messed up the threading device on my Janome -- another hint -- make sure you have pushed the up button so the needle is all the way up. Mine got bent because I did not do that. I used the wheel to crank it up (old school) I removed it and it is easier to just slide the thread down, so I have not replaced it.
I meant I removed the self threading lever.
