Dear Susan. To easily thread most needles, lay a length of thread over the shaft of the needle & pull sharply, grasping both thread ends firmly between thumb & forefinger. Slide the crisply folded thread off the shaft & lay the eye of the needle over the fold you are pinching. If the thread doesn’t pop up thru the eye, flip the needle over & try the other side.
My mother taught us this and said it was the way a blind person could thread a needle (that was back in the 50s)!!
