Even though they were common, Very few people know what these gadgets were used for

Imagine this scenario. You’re searching through a junk drawer at your home and you come across something that you have no idea what it was used for. If you were living with your parents at the time, you may have even asked them what you were now holding.

Some of the newer sewing machines even come with LED lights so you can see what you’re doing and it makes it so much easier. That being said, you can still use this needle threader if you are in a pinch. Here’s how:
