I have an auto threader on my machine. It is easier to do it myself. Tried the white paper behind the needle to check that out and will use that method when I need to. I have no line bi-focals too and they make doing some things harder.

That is exactly what I use on my Featherweight and machines without a threader on it. Works great.
