Try using tweezers -- sometimes your fingers can block the lighting

Be sure the thread is trimmed with sharp scissors without any fuzzy strings to make it harder

Use a needle threader...ususally around $1 for 3 of them in a package at Walmart

Using a piece of an index card behind it would give good contrast

Use "cheater" glasses for extra magnification if needed

Eye sight can slowly get worse so please do have your eyes checked.

Give your hubby a big kiss from all of us too for being your threading hero
