The Bohin is the one I use. I especially like that it will thread very thin needles.

Thank you all so much. I have seen a dr. she recommned asking other quilters, (you can't be the only one with this problem). Also going to PT. I will try all your suggestions.

If you have trouble with threading your machine needle, here is something I use when my auto threader isn't working.

I have good luck with it.

Following this--I teach water wellness classes for those that have arthritis and a couple of the participants have just started using CBD--and we are in KS.

I've order both hand sewing and machine needles that are self threading, a bit different than the ones at Walmart, and they are cheaper than Joannes. I got the machine needles for an older DSM that does not have a self threader. Go to this site and look http://www.spiraleyeneedles.com/ I love them.

I've given your replies to others, no one was aware of these alternatives. yea, quilters.:thumbup:

They were mothers plague.

If hand sewing, snip of the end of the thread so you don't have any stray hairs sticking out.
Hold the thread between your finger and thumb, pull it back so that there is only a small dot showing.
Set the eye of the needle on the dot, open the thumb and finger just a tad, press down lightly.
Roll your finger and thumb up. Push on down with the needle. You should have the needle threaded. Works for me.
