Can't be bothered with it. Takes forever to learn to use it and I can thread it in just a second or two.

I use mine too ... they do have one for different size needles. I know the really small eye needs the one for the smaller needle.

I use mine all the time

I have problems with mine too. I have one on my long arm and it never works.

I've not ever figured out how to use it on my machines either. LOL!

Connie, I'm just like you. At first I was determined to get the hang of it but I didn't feel like waiting months or years, so I thread by hand.

I can't figure mine out either.

Use mine all the time, couldn't see the needle anymore to thread it anyway.

the little hook that catches your thread could be bent very easy to bend it .then it doesn't go in the eye of the needle.
