Self Storing Needle Threader For Sewing and Quilting

Needle ThreaderThis video is also posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. Best right here at As Wood Turns.

I remember my mother helping to thread a needle. It was the same problem whether it was thread or yard. A tiny needle hole, a big thread.

Now with more experienced eyes, it is even more challenging.

Why not make a needle threader? One that is big enough not to get lost. Yet, someone can use it to thread into those tiny needles.

My threader is walnut finished with CA, mineral oil and beeswax.

Enjoy!

    I couldn’t find anywhere where you gave information on the guitar wire size (AWG) or where you purchased it.

    • That would be because I did not purchase it. I went to a music store as asked for discarded guitar strings. They had a bucket full of discarded sets. The smallest string (high tone) was perfect.
