I love mine and my friend got one also because mine worked so well, but I believe not only the eye of the needle matters, so does your thread. If you use thicker hand quilting thread - think it is 30 weight - the 50 weight works good on mine. Also, you need to hold the thread back and to the right - I think. When i bought mine, there was a sign saying ask for a demonstration and that made a work of difference. Of course I had to buy the Clover threader and the hand-made base which had a spindle for the thread and an small pin cushion on it, so you cold thread several needles at a time.
