I think this would work on any needle even on basic sewing machines. I am going to try it next time I change my needle. Might be easier than trying to hold on to needle and push up while tightening the screw. Thanks for the tip.

Wow amazing how that works. Good to know for the future. Thanks so much for sharing!

I use another needle in the needle eye to hold the needle up and in the right possition and that works too.

Great idea! You can use the dull needle before you put into the "sharps" container for disposal.

Waaaay to go! I have the same issues when changing my needle - is it in straight and is it all the way up in the shaft. Thanks for the great tip!
