After fighting with needle threaders for 60 something years I discovered a fantastic needle threader from Dritz and Sew mate. I have not looked back

I gave mine to a friend (a lover of cross-stitch) when she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. This threader extended her sewing life for which we were both so grateful.

I think we are about the age, but you came up with some tips I had never heard of and some I had but had forgotten. Thank you very much for the wet needle trick…it works! All of these years I have been licking the thread, but water on the needle works so much better!

I use the white paper option for threading my very basic machine but may look in to the quick threading needles. My vision is an issue but the bigger one for me is my arthritic fingers, so those needles may be just the thing, Thanks, Jan!

Some machines' feet come with a painted in vertical white stripe, directly behind the eye of the needle, while in the highest needle position. I wonder if a stripe of, say, White Out, would be helpful? I was also taught to thread the needle while out of the machine. Then just insert the threaded needle!

For yarns being threaded into a very small tapestry needle I was taught to fold a piece of paper at an acute angle to give a narrow tip. Unfold it slightly and lay the yarn inside putting the end very close to the tip of the paper. Then you simply push the paper through the eye of the yarn needle and grab the yarn before pulling the paper back out. It helps gather all the fuzzy ends of the yarn to make it easier to thread.

Great tips! I think there's typically a long indentation on the front of a sewing machine needle, just above the eye. If you touch that with your thread and slide the thread down toward the eye, boop, the thread goes in the needle easily. Try it out.❤

I heard & watched Ricky Timms show us how to do that, on a machine needle, while in the machine, during a class, several years ago. Using that tip plus the drop of water on the eye changed my needle-threading technique as my eyesight works less and less well. For some reason there just isn't enough room for me to get close enough to see the eye, my forehead gets in the way! lol😊

I can always use tips on how to thread a needle. I find I need to hold the thin little wire in the needle threader or it comes right out of the little plastic handle. That’s happened to me over and over again. Thank you so much for the new ideas.

Hi Jan. Great tips- thank you.I find difficulty getting machine needle up into hole ready to screw - solved it by using a cheap Dental mirror(no condensation type)& turn your “ unhelpful gadget” to other end, place needle at end hole, so it will be facing correctly in machine. Hold mirror so you can see hole & then easy to put needle into place & screw securely in. Very quick hack. I had emergency eye surgery & I gave up trying to get needle in place after 2 hours one day! I thought about it after seeing my son working using a mirror in his man shed. As a retired nurse I immediately went to my medical kit! Also use forceps, straight & curved tweezers too in sewing tasks to make life easy! Love your channel- it’s always interesting & helpful. Kind regards from J in UK.

If you're doing a 'standard' threading, make sure you have a light coloured background and rotate the needle so the background can be seen through the eye. My Husqvarna machine has a white patch on the shank behind the needle eye

I can’t take credit for this but another RU-vidr taught the most unique way to sew a hand sewing needle. Her name is Joy Bernhardt. I hope you are able to understand it. You either have to thread it by hand or you have to use a hook threader. When you get the needle on a loop of thread. Do not pull needle past the loop onto a single strand of thread. Instead while the needle is on the loop put the point of the needle up through the loop. Pull thread down so it wraps around the eye of the needle. The thread is not knotted around eye of needle but is just wrapped around it. You should also have a decent sized tail. You can sew just like you normally do and needle and thread will go through fabric with no problems because again thread is not knotted. The awesome thing about this is the needle will not come unthreaded while you are sewing. If you drop your needle the thread will remain attached to the needle. It’s easier to see and you can resume sewing without having to rethread your needle.

I’ve always thought needle threaders take longer than just doing it manually and that includes the threaders on my machines. I don’t use them. I’m 64 and have needed reading glasses for more than 20 years. Even if I can’t clearly see the eye, I find it easy to estimate where it is and almost always can thread on the first try. I find the extra step of using a threader tedious.
