Get yourself a needle threader. You should be able to find them at any craft store. Having one has made a huge difference for me.
Another vote for the Loran, well 2 actually because my Aunt who had a needlework shop swears by them. I am also not so good at links so you may have to copy and paste this into your browser: https://www.amazon.ca/Dritz-NT-1-LoRan-Needle-Threader/dp/B0001DS4YK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493842066&sr=8-1&keywords=loran+needle Or alternatively just go to the Amazon of your choice and search for Loran Needle and it will usually get you the right thing. I tie a string through the hole and then have a safety pin on the other end. I can hook it to me or my scissors and not lose it. It is a solid piece of metal so if you break it you really have an issue.
I prefer the hook-style onesfor that reason. The wire ones are only really good for very fine thread and small-eyed needles.
I use a needle threader that is similar to this one. Since it doesn't have wire it is much less likely to break. It did take a couple of tries to get the hang of using it but I haven't needed to get a new threader in over a decade.
I have this one. I got it at Walmart for a little cheaper but I like it better since I have a tendency to break the coin looking ones 😂
I like using 26s and they're much easier to thread since I started using the loop start - because I fold the single strand before threading it through the eye. I've also got a nice Clover needle threader for when I can't do that. It's a lot sturdier than all the other ones I could find and my Lo-Ran threader doesn't fit through most eyes.
As far as weaving the tails in, the 26 is easier, and when that doesn't work, I use the Star De-Tailor, though there are some other tools out there that allow you to weave under the stitches and pull the loose tail through them.
It's definitely a needle threader. See this one on Amazon.
You push the hook through the needle's eye, drape the thread across the hook, then pull the threader back through the eye bringing the thread with it. Bigger hook for bigger needles and threads.
