Threading Needles for the Visually Impaired

My grandmother couldn't see too well, but she was always hand sewing something. I suggest that when you visit a legally blind person who likes to sew, help them out by putting several needles on a spool of thread. They can take off one at a time with more needles to use as they need without having to thread them.

They sell needles with a slotted to so you don't have to thread the needle just slide the thread through the slot. It stays in there pretty well unless you tug it out.

Hi Ardis,
That is a fantastic idea! I am getting to the age of "shrinking arms" and I would sure benefit from that "gift" as well! Thank you for your thoughtfulness!
