Sign of the Arrow's profits are donated to various charities in the St. Louis area so this is a nice way to help out those in need while stitching.

Automatic Needle Threader

Thanks to Park Avenue Needlepoint, I have a video of a needle threader that might be of interest to folks who love gadgets.  I am not sure it'll work with the very tiny eyes of beading needles or with a thick thread, but it is an interesting tool and probably useful for those with arthritic hands or eye issues.  It doesn't work one-handed, though.
