Hi everyone and Vivienne I have seen needle-threaders at the serger store, the handle is made of brass, and the threading loop is of sturdy fine wire, flexible to go through most needle-eyes, and fairly long. It could work for your student. It would be slow going, but with deliberate placing of the tool so it wouldn't slip out of the place for the sewing while the hand directs the bobbin through the loop. Once through, the bobbin can be let go, and the brass handle grasped to pull the bobbin thread through the hole, put down, pick up the bobbin again to push it through the thread loop, and tension.
Yes I've described a sewing, but I wanted to go through the steps, thinking in terms of using one hand. I would test it, but I didn't buy the particular needle threader. I usually use an eyes-out, which might work for your student, too, if she has a means of clamping the tool to hold it for threading - it would be fumblesome I think. hope this might help bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
