Automatic needle threader

I just received my Lee Valley Tools Christmas catalogue, and there's a
neat little gadget for threading your needle automatically. You can
see it on their website, www.leevalley.com, item # 45K27.05 . The
picture is actually large enough to see the item clearly!

I am glad you posted this. Louisa! When I was in Japan a couple of years
back, my daughter-in-law bought me one from a booth, by a big temple in
Tokyo. It was the last the man had, and the instructions are all
Japanese. Maybe I shall have to buy one of these, and transfer the
instructions to my little Japanese one.

I did tell Aya a fib, and that I had used it and loved it. I didn't want
to hurt her feelings; she was so happy she had found something that
would interest me!

I LOVE Lee Valley stuff! I enjoyed wandering around the shop in Halifax.

My uncle used to have one of these. He used to darn his own socks, and
couldn't see to thread the needle. This was 20 or so years ago.

I shall hint about this to my son--he loves a reason to stop by Lee Valley.

We don't have a Lee Valley in Regina. (pouting)

I bought one of those, and it works a treat! Lee Valley carries so much
interesting stuff, over the years it's become one of my favourite places
to shop.

I also really like the picture hook springs so your framed pieces never
shift, item 50K14.01.

And for putting puffed pieces into pre-made frames like Poppy Kreations and
Waxing Moon Designs -- check out the point gun item 86K87.05. A really
decent price; ebay has some ridiculous auctions for the point guns.

Okay, framing isn't something I know much about, but wish I did. What
does the point gun do for you?

Ah - a chance to use what I know about framing. A point gun works like a
stapler to push points, little pieces of metal, into the frame to hold your
piece in place.
