Thanks so much for these hints. I really needed to know these things. The older I get, the smaller the eyes seem to get.

This goes to show you how simple my mind is, I thought you dipped the end of the needle into the fray check, just call me "amelia bedelia". (I think I'm past intervention help).
|
Wow, another use for the bottles of Fraycheck that I have just sitting in a drawer. Thanks for the tip. Will put a bottle in my EPP kit

I have found that if you can't get the thread in the eye turn the needle around & try the other side. It works for me

Very cool idea - I will have to remember that. I actually use old fashion beeswax (you know that silly disk that clover sells?).
Yep used beeswax for years and still will .. Thanks for the tip, I may use that in the future ! |
Thanks for the great tip. Very clever.

Oh you clever girl. Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing.

Great Idea.. Thank you for passing that along as it will help many of us.

Also broke 2 of the cheap ones from walmart, so this morn I tried dipping the end in fray check and letting it dry and was able to thread 12 with no threader!!!!! Gale |
Thanks for the tip...
