Needle Threaders

It is my considered opinion that one can NEVER have too many tools and/or gadgets. ;-)

(And yes, I KNOW, thread with the presser

My machine knows better than to listen. ;->

Beverly

It only makes sense to do that. You have room to work. The foot up is necessary while putting the thread through the tension disks, not while threading the needle.

A world with out gadgets is a world deprived. I love my gadgets. I also love, kitchen stores, hardware stores, little dodads from office supply stores and of course notions atfabric store Juno

We could shop together. Those are my favorite places, too.

Yes. Good deal, eh? I think I made the tiny URL after I was signed in; since you are not me, it wouldn't work for you.

Yabut, it took me 40 years (and old eyes) to figure it out!

Beverly

Very!

Not a problem, I searched for "Clover Needle Threader" and then just found the one with "Buy Now" at $7.49. Mine are on the way. ;-)

Beverly

Whaaaaattt, you don't like all the neat gadgets at the electronics stores? ;-}

Beverly, staying away from Fry's for very good reason

Probably because you never drove yourself crazy trying to unstick the little pin that's supposed to move in and out when you lift and lower the presser foot.

There's the wee problem of getting rid of the obsolete electronic gadgets already here.

I do most of hand sewing in the living room, so one is in the sewing cabinet by my rocker, and the other in my bedroom, where I have the Singer set up; I suppose I should get 1-2 for the real sewing room. Emily

You and me both! Emily

The list is long and space is limited. Gadget is my middle name. I don't care what it is or what it does. I never discriminate when it comes to a gadget. I love gadget as much as I love my husband, husband, kids and Grandkids. Gadgets rule. Juno

You need to get your legislators up to speed:

I learned to love Fry's while in CA, and was thrilled when one opened in Houston. Too bad, my bankroll won't allow me to get all the gadgets I would like, so like you, Beverly, I have to stay away most of the time. Emily

You have two??? ;-)

Indeed.

Beverly

They took over the space Radio Shack built for a mega-store several years ago. Fortunately for my bankroll, it's a good

30 minutes drive south (an hour round trip not including the time wandering around the store), so I go only once or twice a year, and then only if I call first and I'm sure they have in stock what I seek.

I'm going to miss Circuit City, it was close by.

Beverly

There was a one-day session for people to drop off gear, but they had to close early because they already had more than they could handle. They promise they'll do it again.
