I have been sewing and making my own clothes since I was 15 years old. The biggest challenge of my life was when I was not able to thread my machine and regular needles. Recently, I found the DRIFT looped needle threaders at Hobby lobby They look like long thin  wires, you can feel your way through pushing it through the eye of the needle, open it up on the other in and placing the thread  at the inside and pull it back out. It is the best thing I have ever found for threading needles and I have tried Minnie things that so bad, I actually had to put two sewing machines in my car and go to someone’s house just for them to thread the needle for me. it was very depressing for me to do that but now that I have found these threaders, I need assistance from no one to thread any type of needle. This item has become a lifesaver for me.

I use the little wire loop type threaders.  Cheap and easy to use.

There a few ways. One you can buy needles that are easy thread they have like a hook system on top, also they have these little devices that help to thread needles for people that are blind. You can find needle threading devices at maxi aids or LSS products.
