I like the Bohin threader a lot - it has a side for larger needle and the other side for the smaller needles. I also have the Clover threader, got it first, and really liked it, but it didn't work well on the smaller needles. The one from Sewline has mixed reviews on Amazon - so all you can do is try it out and see if it works for you.

I like the needle beetle threader. It works great and cost $5. I have the Bohn, Clover and a few generics but none work for each needle and both quit working after awhile. I never could get the Sewline to work right. I gave up.

I LOOKED AT IT.....the discovered a "cartidge" needs to be replaced in it for $7.99! NOT FOR ME. I too, purchased the Clover threader...three for family before finding out it ONLY TAKES CLOVER NEEDLES...what a bummer. LOVE sewline products...but not falling for the buy cartridges ploy. I will look into the Bohn.

I don't recall which table top threader I had purchased but guessing clover as it was very reasonably priced. However, it broke after 6-12 uses. I do find, if you are using Roxanne needles, their handheld threaders work best with their needles. I've tried other handheld threaders with their needles with little to no luck. So for me, for any handsewing, I'll stick with my Roxanne needles and their threaders.

What's funny is if you read some of the reviews, you will come across one that the reviewer gave a one...sounds awful but if you read the text of the reviews, it is actually a positive review. I have seen a few of these where it appears the reviewer interprets a one rating as a positive review...
