Hello from Western Maryland !!

If you can afford a machine with a threading mechanism go for it. If you can't there are some needle threading helpers out there. Mine was made by Nechhi and I bought it years ago.

For myself and others who have tremors the Alto's QuiltCut2 [I keep calling it quickcut as it makes cutting so much easier and faster for me] is an absolute godsend for help with cutting. You can see it at: www.quiltcut.com

Make some quilting buddies and I bet they will help you with what you need. I found mine at my quilt guild and the LQS.

Best wishes and happy quilting.

Thank you so much for all of your advice and please keep looking for more answers for me as there has to be something in this world of Quilting that might be just what I am looking for.
God's Blessings
