I agree with Munchkins - the Topstitch needles have a larger eye.

I haven't found a decent video on YouTube. Are you on FB? There is a great group there called "Brother Pq1500SL and Baby Lock Accomplish /Jane Sewing Machines", there is a very clear and helpful video posted in the group.

Why do you need to let go of the threader? I usually hold on to the tail of the thread until the threader pulls it through, *then* I let go of the threader. Maybe your machine is different?
