I have the Clover Desk (automatic) needle threader. I love mine. It works great for the little needles. It does not do anything for larger embroidery needles.

I resisted getting one because I was only 44 at the time... two years later I broke down and got reading glasses as well...

Cheers, K

I have been trying to use the threaders from JAF. So hard!! I also use the readers....leave them all over the house! I will try the ones recommended by the wonderful board members. Thanks for all the great information. I always learn from someone else's post!!

I have the clover threader and it works great on the smallest of needles. I pull both sides of thread so it's tight as I push the threader lever down. Works great!!

How is this different from the Clover threader that looks just like this?

Have you tried the DMC threader? At JoAnns in the embordery section. Has three in one. Thread, embordery and yarn.

The Bohin needle threader is able to thread different sizes of needles.

I personally don't use one, but my friend Cindi has tried both brands and told me the Bohin was superior, so I got one for my mom. She loves it, by the way.
