There are self threading machine needles. I use them on my machine that does not have a auto threader.
Schmetz makes them.

Also the Bohin hand needle threader is the best I have used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZpRd5xGpyc

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.

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.

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.
