    I have a basic Brother machine and when the needle threader stopped working (after checking numerous times that the needle was in correctly) I got a magnifying glass out and could see there was a little part that was bent. I looked on the internet and can't remember if it was a You tube or something else, but, it was very simple to take the bent part off, bend it back, and put it back on. It works great now. It wasn't hard and I figured if I screwed up I could always take it to the OSMG.

    Sometimes the new technology just simple fails to work. I hope you are able to get your problem resolved.

    Thanks so much for trying to help me with my threader problem on my Baby Lock. I think notmorecraft hit it. I am going to check that needle setting. I believe mine is slightly set to the right.

    Mods:
    Post #14 is clearly spam. Can it be removed?

    It has been reported - by clicking on the triangle with the exclamation mark in the light blue box, on the left side of the screen, that gives the information about the poster. It is at the bottom of that light blue box.

    Good ideas above. I have been told that the small plastic piece with the threading wire/hook just pulls right off the post for replacement. I have been meaning to order a couple replacements to put in my little toolbox for the day I might bend or break one.

    If it is not the needle placement then you may need to replace the needle threader. The part is not expensive and available on line. You may want to try this link. I hope this helps: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/se...eedle+threader.
