SINGERNeedle Threader Assistant - Automatic Hand Sewing Needle Threader

When I gently withdrew the needle (Step 6) it came out without the loop of thread. I tried many times, then I found a better way. For better results, append the instructions with these steps:6. Release the lever (E), but don’t withdraw the needle.7. Look for the loop of thread in window (C) and grasp it with tweezers.8. Pull the loop and draw out one of the two ends of thread, leaving one in the needle.7. Withdraw the threaded needle.It works every time.

This is a nifty gadget that helps you thread a needle. I think it would fit most standardized needles. The instructions were clear and I was able to get the needle threaded on my first try.Tip: when you place the thread on the V groove, ensure you have enough slack on both sides, ie ~4-5 inches.I didn’t have to use tweezers or slooooooowwwly do anything. Although, I can see that I would have to be more careful if I had to thread something that was attached to what I was working on.I did have a problem with opening the needle compartment, because there were no instructions. You need to TWIST the dark magnet/cap off.Do I need this? No, I’m in my thirties and my eyes haven’t failed me. And I can usually get the needle on, but it is the limiting factor. And it can be a strain on my eyes to get that needle threaded, so I thought this MIGHT help reduce the negative effects on my eyes sight.I also like the magnet pick up (which you can accomplish with any magnet) and the needle compartment (which you can use pin cushions for), and a cheap 5 cent needle threader usually does the job, BUT I like nifty doo-dads that are all-in-one.I actually found this because I broke my cheap needle threader and I was in the market for a needle holder.

I WATCHED A USER VIDEO AND GUARANTEE THIS GUY WORKS FOR SINGER, AND HE TRIED AND IT DID NOT WORK CAUSE THIS THREADER IS A GLORIFIED PIECE OF JUNK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GOTTA BUY A TWEEZER TO PULL THE THREAD OUT OF WHERE THE THREADER ??? IS INCAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB IT WAS MADE SO BEAUTIFULLY TO DO. BOY. I WAS LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE UPS STORE WHEN I RETURNED IT TO AMAZON

This really is difficult to use as a threader.Pros:The container for needles is very convenient, as is the magnet on the grey tip of the tool.The blade at the top works well for cutting thread, and has cut through 6 and 12 strand embroidery thread with barely any effort.Cons:The tool's gimmick is that it threads a needle easily with the press of the button.The tool works by pushing the thread into the eye, but it doesn't push it far enough, and when you pull the threaded needle out, more than half the time the thread pulls right back out if you aren't really careful. Another good portion of the time, not all of the threads end up pushing through. I just think the tool isn't well designed in one way or another. It's a shame because the tool is good quality and works fine, but not well enough. Especially for the price.

I like it but must add, it is not easy to see your needle inside the threader but it ended up working fairly well. Give it a couple of tries and it does work

I do cross stitching needle work where I use about a medium size needle and though this needle thread is lovely, it's too small for my needle. A little frustrating but hopefully this will help somebody else that orders it, most tapestry needles will not be able to fit in this thing.

In my opinion, the simple hand held hook style needle is easier to use and works better.This Singer needle threader is somewhat cumbersome to use. Some thicker needles won't work in this device. Often, the needle becomes unthreaded while removing the needle from the device. No instructions for using the device are included, but you can get online.

So I ordered this for my mom for Christmas, and she really likes it! So what follows are her words and whatnot about this threader.She said that 'It threads embroidery floss as well as applique needles without a problem.' So this is definitely something that I would order again for somebody (not myself because I'm not a quilter, but I know someone who is)
