I have nerve damage in both hands and my left is worse then my right. I can't feel the needle or the thread. My thumbs are pulled back towards my wrists. If you put my hands palm up the thumbs look like frogs legs. I just taught myself to sew with my right hand and pulled my needle through sometimes with my teeth. I'm glad you mentioned the needle nose hooked pliers. I'm going to get me a pair. I have a pair of regular pliers in the kitchen to open everything. Thanks for the yip.
