Threading A Needle

I know the young people still have a very clear vision so they can very well thread a needle .
But for the older one , it has become difficult and I am one of them , as well as my husband .
That’s why , I discovered this aid ( the one in the picture ) that really can help me when I am threading a needle .
You just have to shoot that one’s end of the loop like thing . Then once it’s inserted , you can put the thread , then pull that loop back out of the needle’s hole .
And voila ! The thread is already passed through the hole .
So easy with that .

Ahhh, the threader. My mother also has that in her sewing box but she seldom uses it. Sometimes, she asks me to put the thread.

My mom owns a threader like that too, it comes in a little kit she has. It helps her, now she doesn't ask for my help.

@valmnz no. they use safety pins, tape, staplers, or just buy new outfits.

I had to discover that a couple of years earlier.
Its that or I carry a needle and thread around looking for a pair of younger eyes.
One of the reasons why I don't embroider any more...though I keep meaning to, or is it because i'm too lazy and would rather read a book

So you have discovered it earlier than me .
Me too , i sometimes seek a younger person when i am to thread a needle and there's one around like in my parents' house .
But at home where my in-laws are now old there's none , because hubby can't already too .
So it has to be with the aid of that .

Good for you that you have known about this already even when you were still young .
I only discovered how it is used just this year when an officemate showed it to me on how to use it . I laughed out loud when she showed it to me .
All the while it's in our sewing kit yet i am not noticing it at all because i don't know yet its usage .

i can still thread a needle with the help and using eyeglasses, he, he. but if no eyeglasses, i can't do it anymore. glad that you share this tool to help us thread a needle. i'm going to find this tool so that i can make use of it too.

So , you are using this on the needle of a sewing machine ?
I haven't used this in threading the needle of the sewing machine . I usually use a sewing machine only in my parents house and would ask the maid to thread the needle of the sewing machine for me .

I'm considered young, but I can't thread a needle either. I always had to get my mother tread mine when I did cross stitch with her.

@SIMPLYD I can see the hole, but I don't have steady hands to do it.

@SIMPLYD My sewing business is at a standstill now because of financial problem. I was into the t shirt and other garments sewing business until early last year when I had a misunderstanding with one of the seamstress, and that started it all. I removed all the sewing machines in that particular house and transferred them here in my garage. Now, when I go out, I try to find the seamstress but she is always out to nowhere, and she is not the one I had misunderstanding, but another one whom I call "ATE".
