Easier way to thread needles ...
 

I have arthritis as well as tremors in my hands. At our last Quilt Shop Hop one of the LQS's demonstrated the Bohn needle threader. I can actually use it! It had a place for thin needles and one for larger needles. The needle doesn't have to lined up just so to be threaded.

Just got mine today. My friends won't have to help me so much now. Yeah!

a friend recommended it to me a couple of years ago... life has never been easier! glad you found it. it's actually spelled Bohin and can be found here http://www.amazon.com/Bohin-Super-Au...=bohin+needles

Just got one and love it. Pricey but totally worth it. My mother used to
have something very similar. I know she bought it in France years ago.
Might have been a Bohin. Unfortunately it got "legs" in very short order.

I picked one up at the Houston show a few years ago, and it's the best thing ever. Better than the other brands of needle threaders I've tried - it automatically turns your needle to the correct position, and has two sides - one for regular needles and one for those hard-to-thread applique needles!

I have one in my sewing room and one in my take along sewing notions. I consider it an essential notion. It's the best one I have tried so far.

I have one of those little gems, too. It's saved me a lot of frustration.

That's cool. I have one of the other ones, Clover, I think, and am able to use it very easily.

Glad you found something that works for you. I have a needle threader that came with my Bernina.

I bought one 5 years ago at Road to CA. Never having had a needle threader before, I had nothing to compare to. I have to tell you this has turned out to be the best thing ever. It has lasted without ever failing. I am amazed - these little gadgets look sort of frail, but they're not. I am sure I will never have to replace it. It just keeps going....

I have the Bohin needle threader and the Clover. Both work well, but both have quirks. One of my friends gave her Bohin to me because she couldn't get it to work for her, but I babied it and use it for threading my applique needles. Oddly enough, I use the large needle side for my smaller needles as well as my larger ones.

I have both Bohin and Clover threader but I prefer the Bohin.

On the website mentioned there is a needle holder for machine needles. I bought that and it is a life saver for me. Don't know why I have so much trouble putting a new needle in my machine. At least now it is easier.

The Bohin needle threader is one of the best investments I've made. I like using very fine needles to do handwork like putting on a binding and hems and this makes threading that little eye so much easier. A five star rating in my book!

Clover puts their name on some great notions, but sometimes, they're a dud. After fussing with my Clover needle Threader for a couple of years, tossed it. Was enticed a few months ago to give the Bohin Needle Ghreader a try . . .and it's absolutely the bomb! So much easier to use and works every time, unlike the Clover that was hit and miss. I keep a second one in my travel kit so I always have it.

Mar, I have the same trouble, so have a small mirror (remember when businesses gave these away years ago?) and slide it under the needle hole area.. Hurray, success!

I bought and used the pink Clover threader with great success...until I developed an eye disease and I can't see the needle holes anymore to line them up properly in the Clover. Thanks for the recommendation for the Bohin, I'll look for one at the show I'm going to next week.
