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. | | Shelley L.
