As far as the clover threader goes, I found that you have to use a needle that is compatible with the thread for it to work right. The thread should be down in the groove but not taught. I also found that if you only have a short length of thread overhanging on the cut thread side it works like a dream. Yesterday I used a plastic needle threader that was this little loop of thin plastic with a tiny tip from a package of them at a girls house. I didn't read the name of the product package, but it had quite a few of them in there. They were green. It worked really well and I plan on buying some for myself. Those little metal ones with the wire do not last anytime at all.
