Threading needles

For those of us with eye sight challenges, here are a few tips for threading your needles:-

1.  Instead of cutting the cotton straight across (blunt) cut the cotton on an angle.  The thread slips into the eye of the needle easier.

2.  Use a pair of tweezers to thread your sewing machine needle.  Once you get into the habit you will never use your fingers again.  Great for people with false (acrylic or gel) nails.

3.  Use the Self Threading needles.  Can be purchased at most sewing shops.

Happy sewing
