I don't know how new this is, but it is new to me -- a needle threader from clover: https://www.amazon.com/Clover-Desk-Needle-Threader-Purple/dp/B001BL70MS/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1477323893&sr=1-1&keywords=clover+desk+needle+threader
I love it...although I am sticking myself with the needle a little more.
It actually puts a thread loop through the needle, so if you like to sew with two threads, you don't hve to worry about the size of the eye! -
I have one of those, it's so helpful. If I didn't have this needle threader, I'm not sure I would be able to keep doing much hand sewing. It is a little fussy about some needles, especially those with a tiny eye. Do you have the little wood base that you can put the threader in to keep it stable? Kathy -
This is the one that I use, I love it because it works for me!! If I didn't have this, I would never do hand work cause threading the needle is to hard!!

That is the one I use Marion. When I went to Missouri Star Quilt Company a couple of years ago, I checked out the building they do the quilting in. I think they had 7 or 8 Gammills at the time. Anyway, in the corners of the room where some wonderful ladies binding the quilts. They showed us the Clover needle threader and we were sold. It works great.

I don't have a wood base, but I have super glue!
Ladywingnut, I like the magnet idea! I guess I need to find the superglue now!
Thanks!Comment
