A lighted magnifying needle threading fixture, comprising:

• an elongated body having a capaciously sized magnifier lens having a diameter of between about 30 mm and about 60 mm at one end thereof, a rest surface defined at the other,
• a medially spaced downwardly protruding support terminating in two support feet located between said magnifier and said rest surface, the combination of said support feet and said rest surface supporting said magnifier between about one and about four inches above the plane defined by said rest surface and two support feet,
• said downwardly protruding support having a needle receiving socket located in the frontal surface thereof beneath said magnifier, an LED being disposed between the magnifier and the socket, the power of said magnifier being adapted such that a needle protruding from said socket will be in focus if viewed from above at a distance of between about 4 and about 6 inches,
• a battery compartment located away from said magnifier adjacent said rest surface and adapted to supply power to said LED,
• said fixture being balanced so that, when a battery is retained within said battery compartment and said fixture is placed upon a planar surface adjacent a free edge thereof, the socket, LED and magnifier are accessible from both below and above.
