Sue at the Tortoise Loft has a tutorial on how to thread a needle using the fold and pinch method.

Thanks, Sue. Tips are always helpful, and we don't always have a needle threader right there when we need it.
UPDATE: Dawn reminded me of another way to help threading a needle: "Some of your readers may not know that the eye of each needle has one beveled side to make threading easier. If the thread won't go into the eye on the first try, turn the needle to the other side."
Thanks, Dawn!
