I am curious if any of you, have suggestions on how to make threading a sewing machine easier? I have a customer who loves to quilt, and has two sewing machines, and has recently lost some vision. I don't have a sewing machine myself, I want one, smile, so I was wondering if anyone has come up with some easy or creative ways to get that thread into the needle. We tried the floss threader, wire needle threader (best so far), self threading needles (she loves), but wondering if there are other methods that work out well?
Also, smile, does anyone have a favorite brand or type of sewing machine that is good for a blind beginner sewer?
