    Default Needle threader for size 11 millinery needle?

    Any suggestion for one that will work with this shape eye, please? My eyes can;t take it anymore, even with glasses and the Ott light.

    Not sure what the eye is like on that size (or any other, unfortunately) millinery needle. For my #11 Roxanne betweens I use one of their threaders. They are very fine and sturdy. Can't get any other commercially available threader to work on the #11 or #12 roxannes. Maybe they will work for you? Colonial Needle is usually a good source.

    Sometimes I give up and resort to using a #10.

    I will also watch for answers.

    I have some needle threaders that will thread size 12 betweens. I don't remember who makes them but they have a white plastic square for the handle part and come two to a package.

    I think this one from Sewline would work, but I haven't bought and tried it yet myself. http://www.pieceocake.com/Notions/Needles-Pins.html

    That Sewline threader looks like quite the gadget!

    I use the Clover desk needle threader. I just used it todaywith a #11. They can be purchased at Joanns. A good item to buy with a coupon.

    The sew line needle threader I found after I purchased required a specific needle and my small length 10, 11. And 12.
    I'm sure it also specified a certain eye . Please see if others use this and have any problems or like it. Since I started wetting the eye and then threading had no problems.
