Thanks everyone. As they are so inexpensive, I will try the super easy threader (with the hook) and the humming bird.
|
I use the dental floss threader, cheaper than any other and works great.

There are also needles with a slit on one side that you slide the thread down, and the thread pops in. They call them "handicap needles." Also, if you sew with "topstitch" needles, the eye is longer, so there's a bigger hole to put the thread into.

My two Elna's have needle threaders, have used them, actually I should say that now only one of my Elna's has the needle threader, because I had my machine guy take it off on the one I use the most.

But don't forget this easy peasy help in threading sewing machine needles as well. Keep a plain white index card piece about 1" x 2" near your machine. Prop it up behind the sewing machine needle so that you can see the hole clearly and I believe you'll find threading ever so much easier. I regularly use either or both of these methods. Happy sewing![/QUOTE] The is a flat spot on the shank behind the needle on my machine and I just painted it white so the eye would show better. Really helped me a lot. |
