    I use these

    The worst problem I have is finding them! Put my thread through the loop and single end through needle eye. I'm not sure how good they would be on very fine needles but they work great for threading sergers and needles on machines.

    Make sure to use your up/ down button on your Bernina before using the needle threader. The needle must be at it's highest point or you risk damaging the threader.

    Found the Needle Threader thanks to you readers.

    Getting a SIMANCO & Singer part # was the magic 'number
    .
    Having a FW and a 201 the first company I turn to when I am on the hunt for something is April's Sewing Shop, [email protected].

    The really neat thing about this company is April is so knowlegeable, along with husband Carm who does all the machine repair stuff. Already ordered, should be here in a couple of days. Libber
