I wouldn't be with out mine. I have 2- one in my sewing studio and one in the family room. They thread even the tiniest needles.

I could not do anything related to hand sewing without my Clover needle threader.

Either I didn't understand how to use it (no directions) or there was a defect in the one that I bought. Wasted money!

Thanks for reminding me that I have one - unopened - and although I don't do a lot of hand work I really need help threading my needles. I think the needle's eyes are getting smaller, and they don't hold still. They must be getting old. ;)

What brand of needles do you use? I can't get mine to work on my John James betweens.

I have both the Clover and the Bohin and I love them both. The Bohin actually has two places for needles - small and large, which to me means applique and sharps. They can both be finicky, and I have had to try up to 5 times to get the needle threaded, but it eventually works. Be sure the thread is pushed all the way down into the groove.

Mike'sgirl, I don't remember. They are all out of the package.

Me neither.

I guess I gave up too quickly...I'll have to give it another try.

Guess I won't be investing in one. With my eyes failing faster than I'd like to accept .too. I use "straw needles" for my hand sewing. They are quite thin and have a very small eye. Most of mine have a decidedly "C" shaped curve in them, but I still love 'em. I have learned to place a light colored paper behind when threading or use the ole cheap needle threader. You all know it.....the thin piece of tin (I guess) with a loop of steel at the end.
