    The way I thread my needles-----
    Cut thread, blunt cut making sure there are no wild threads.
    Hold the thread between your thumb and forefinger, now pull the thread down from the bottom until there is only a slight dot of thread showing.
    Set the eye of the needle down on the dot,
    BARELY roll your thumb and finger open while setting the eye down on the thread, now roll your thumb and finger UP, catching the thread. As you pull the thread up, you pull the needle down and I bet you the needle will be threaded. I've done it so many times I don't even have to look. lol
    No poking at the eye four or five time.

    Love to see the next generation of quilters with the earlier generation sewing machines. This is a photo to frame.
    I put a piece of paper with a bright color behind the eye of the needle so I can see the eye.

    thank you all, she is the apple of my eye. I sure hope that she will remember the days that her and i sew , when she is older. When i took her home that day she told me she had fun.
