If you have problems threading needles, these are for you.

Since having cataract surgery, my vision was corrected for distance, leaving me to wear drug store cheaters for close up work. Threading needles became a nightmare, and I am a quilter/sewist/crafter, constantly changing threads. I started looking for something to help and found these threaders. The stiff end slides easily into the eye of both machine and hand-held needles, and the large loop is easily opened to put the thread through.

Perfect for my needs.

I’m actually using these to pull yarn through the shank on buttons to make button centers for my crochet flowers. These work perfect for what I need. I am so glad I found them on amazon.

Works surprisingly well

Ordered this for my future daughter-in-law. It looks like a flimsy toy but it actually works very well. I have had one for years and been very happy with it.

Multi-use threader

Love this threader, I received my first one as a gift and bought a second one to have next to my sewing machines. This works so much easier than the automatic threader on either machine. The hummingbird is easy to grasp which makes it easier to use.

great product

Excellent for people with low vision problems, like myself. I also painted the little threader with a Sharpie so I could see it better going through the whole of a sewing machine needle.

I love this gadget, Best invention ever!

I read some reviews on this needle threader but I took my chances and ordered one anyway. People were complaining that it messed up their thread and that it broke. The secret to operating this gadget. Take your time, make sure the eye of the needle is lined up with the hole, If you are doing three strands of embroidery floss, make sure they are nice and smooth when laying it on the needle threader. If the needle is lined up, Push the lever two to three times and all of the threads will go into the needle. It may appear that the thread is messed up but in reality the threads just separated a little. You will get the feel of it. You can tell if the needle is threaded by the ease of pulling the needle out. Do not force the threader to go into the needle because in my opinion , it will break the needle threader. I love this and ordered another one to have on hand. Thank you for such a great product because I cannot see to thread these little eyed needles.

Does what it's suppose to

I have one of these and I just ordered a second one to have two on hand. It works the same as any other wire needle threader. It, too, will break if you try to pull a too-thick thread through a small eyed needle, which is not the fault of the threader, but the choice of a too-small needle for your thread. The plastic tube protects the wire when not in use. But what I really like is the magnifier. It’s not a super-magnification, but it’s enough to see the eye of the needle, something that is getting more and more difficult for me. I have a Sewline Needle Threader for my quilting needles, and the eye needs to be straight up when it goes into the threader. I use this magnifier to make sure my needle goes in with the eye facing up. It’s a big help for me…tiny enough to not take up a lot of room, and big enough to solve my problem. I’ll put this one in my to-go bag. To use the magnifier to hand-thread a needle requires a little hand-technique: hold the magnifier between your thumb and index finger, and hold the needle between the index finger and middle finger, beneath the magnifier. This leaves your other hand free to hold the thread.

Very Handy! Just keep a magnet handy for storing them while you're working.

Threading my serger just got a whole lot easier! These really are handy. Serger needles are more difficult to access than conventional sewing machines. These make the task easier. Just make sure you have something magnetic handy to store them. They are very fine so you don't want to lose them.

Best serger threaders ever!!

I use these threaders exclusively for my sewing machine, my serger, and when hand sewing. They revolutionize threading a serger. They're magnetic, so I store mine on a magnetic pin cushion. You've got to try these!

Finally! These make threading my serger needles easy.

These are terrific! Just stick your thread into the big loop and then stick the pointed other end through the eye of your needle. Pull it through from the back, and you're done. Don't make the mistake of putting the loop through the eye of the needle and then putting the thread through the loop...you're just making it harder than it needs to be. Other reviewers warn that these are easy to lose, but I've got that solved, too. They're magnetic, so I use my big blue needle and pin magnet as a permanent storage place...actually, I got a second one specifically for these threaders, but you don't have to. I haven't lost a single one in the months I've been using them.
