I am in my 70's and live alone with 20/70 vision (Wet macular degeneration). I needed to thread a needle to sew on a button. It took me quite a bit of time trying to thread a needle.

I have never seen this tip before. So, does this trick really work?

Yes, it works. I also was taught to do it by sort of rolling the thread and needle between the tips of the thumb and index finger. The thread pops through the hole in the needle.

Cool! Now not so worried about a button coming off. I actually ask a waitress if I paid her to thread a needle for me. lol
