I use the desk clover threader too. The only trick is to make sure the thread tail isn't too long before pressing the leaver. I use a dental floss loop to thread the embroidery thread. They come in a little plastic container. Someone here suggested it and it works for me as long as the eye of the needle is large enough to accommodate the straight plastic end to go through. The self threading hurts my fingers after a short while, so only short jobs for these, at least for me.
I also bought a lighted magnifier that fits around my neck when the light is low. Like in front of the T.V. at night.
