I use the Fons and Porters threader they are red,they worked better for me there a little thicker and easier to control rather than the Dritz. I poke the wire right through the needle and put thread right in the wire and pull through. Just like magic.

Has anyone tried these? I am going to look for them locally.

Have you ever used the Infila Needle Threader for hand sewing? It really works well.

Has anyone used this needle threader? It appears to work like the Infila needle threader, which works well for me.
I've tried most of the methods described above without much success and learned to thread in the AM when my eyes want to work better.

I simply put one of my fingers (the left hand) behind the needle; also cut the thread at an angle; or wet it & then roll it in between my thumb and a finger. The plastic green "threader" for people who wear braces works as well. You buy them where oral care-tooth brushes, toothpaste etc. are.

Yes, I have a box. Only used it once. I forgot that I even had them. I accidentally put one in, when the thread slipped out as I was sewing, I took the needle out & saw that's what it was one of those self thread needed. I haven't used them again since.
The lady at Hancock said it worked for her.
