    Since my latest surgery has left me with. No feeling down my right side, I'm going to have to learn to stitch left handed with a frame. However I don't see how I'm going to thread needles one handed. So I wondered has anyone had any experience of the various theaders on the market and give me advice on the best one to buy.

    Hi Alison
    I'm so sorry to hear about the surgery, but glad you're not giving up on the stitching.
    Unfortunately I can't help with the needle threader question

    Perhaps a doorstop type pin cushion, into which zou can stick the needle, then thread it. Don't give up on getting the use of your other arm back.

    Alison. Atta girl, you can do it I know. Can't help with needle threaders but Brigitte's idea seems a good one. xx

    Go it girl, you will be able to do it, I know, been there, seen it, done it, just haven't been able to find a T-shirt that says so! ;)

    After my right thumb was crushed and nearly severed in a car accident a year last August I really struggled to use my right hand at all. Luckily I did have the use of my fingers, after a fashion, but sometimes had to ask for help when it came to threading needles, as well as fixing the material into the frame. I've never found any needle threader that actually works, though I have several.

    Keep trying flower, I'm sure you will get there in the end. I know I did, so I'm sure you can. ;)
