I have used the "EZ-IN" needle threader for Sewing Machines.  It is made
by Infila, so it works like the Infila needle threader.  The last ones I
purchased were from ILA, and they are still in the current catalog.

Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] Threading a sewing machine and sewing
machine suggestions

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?

thanks.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought
of 
their act as violence;
 rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
 The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever 
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)
