YOu can get a self threading needle or a spiral needle so you are not trying to thread it every time. It is tedious, but that's the way lots of folks handle this situation.
This is interesting........I have never heard if a self threading needle or spiral needle. Where can these be found? At a quilt shop I had went too, I saw them pulling up the bobbin thread, and was wandering why they did this.......now I know! Thanks!
