    She also talks about putting the pad of your LEFT index finger behind the needle (same thing I guess) and THAT makes it easier to see the eye of the needle. I didn't do the SPIT part! Now it's going to be easy.

    I noticed that Bottom Line doesn't work well with my automatic needle threader--- it shreds. Guess the little hook catches and tears it or something.

      What I've found works for me to see the hole in the needle is to hold a piece of white paper or card stock behind the needle and the hole shows up well.

        I've tried most of those threading tips and it finally threads when it feels like it . The needles threader on my machine constantly gets off kilter. I can't even blame my inability to thread on needing an eye exam because I got new glasses in April. ops:

          My needle threader on my machine worked one time--in the Bernina class! :lol: I just thread the needle the old fashioned way and skip the hassle. Judy in Torrance
