You do not know how glad I am to see that other quilters do not like the threader. I wear rading glasses for sewing and I would saw 98% of the time I get the thread through the needles the first time.....and the other 2% is just not as much trouble as taking the time to use that THING. It just makes me frustrated and if I'm going to get frustrated I would rather it be over an error in sewing.....I CAN FIX THAT. Happy sewing..:)
