I was having issues threading my Featherweight in class then I found a "serger needle threader" and it worked wonderful. Much easier to thread with a metal wire than floppy thread. Let's see if I can find a picture. Ok but here is what it looks like

QUOTE: I was told in a class once to wet the sewing machine needle, not the thread. So I lick my thumb and pointer finger, slide them over the needle, and then thread it. I do have an automatic threader on my machine, but sometimes it gets bent and won't work. Then I lick my fingers. -- from juliea9967
Blind people sew. And they need to know how to thread the sewing machine needle themselves. I found a needle threader for blind people at the health fair that is held at our church every year. The county health department runs it. I bought a threader for me and another for my son-in-law who sews. He hated threading the needle of the machine.
