How does a blind person thread a needle?

Fortunately, help is at hand with an ingenious invention known as a self-threading needle!
The eye of the needle has a tiny hinge on a spring. When the thread is pressed down firmly, it springs open and, hey presto, the needle is threaded.

One also gets needle threaders to assist you in threading regular and machine needles. This is one of our top sellers in our Resource Centre (definitely not to blind customers only!)
