Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] Needle threaders

I bought a box of needle threaders from Amazon.  When I got them, they
weren't what I expected, but I'm liking them so far.  I was expecting the
wire loop kind.  These have a thicker handle, but about the same size as the
wire loop kind, but instead of the wire loop they have a short wire hook.
You stick the little hook through the needle, hook the thread over it, and
pull it through.  It seems much sturdier than the wire loop.  I've used it
quite a bit to thread a yarn needle, and I have to be careful to hook the
whole piece of yarn and not just one ply, or it pulls them apart, but it
works well.  I haven't tried it on my little sewing machine yet, but, as I
recall, the wire loop was a pain with the sewing machine needle, so we'll
see.
