Aloha Linda, I agree with Dave's email. I have used both of those threading solutions. I keep the wire loop kind in my purse in case I am out somewhere and don't have the self-threading needles around. Before 911, I used to carry a self-threading needle in my purse, but not anymore of course.
If you have hand coordination challenges, there are some other needle threaders that are used by putting the end of the needle with the eye into a tiny cup shaped part of a device, and then you place your thread on another part of the threader. Then you push down on a lever and the device threads the needle. I remember using one of these when I was little and didn't like it. Another alternative is to purchase needles that are already threaded. I believe they are sold by places such as American Foundation for the Blind and/or the Braille Institute store in California. I haven't seen a catalog of blindness products from either one of these places lately, so don't know if they still carry them.
