I love them, but I'm on my third one. Once they break there is no fixing them. Not an inexpensive item to keep replacing.

I bought a Dritz this week and can't get it to work at all. I'm sorry I didn't just pick up a couple more of the 'old fashioned' kind.

I use quilting betweens for both quilting and applique & occasionally I struggle to get quilting thread thru' the tiny eye; I bought a Dritz threader last week, but it did not work even once so I returned it for a refund this week.

Love mine!!! Have used it for years. Older I get the more I use it saves lots of frustration - I keep it right in my sewing basket it goes where I go!

I have one(Clover) and had trouble getting it to work, but saw a vendor at a quilt show had them in her booth, and told her I had one but couldn't get it to work. She demo-ed it for me and haven't had trouble with it and love it. It was not so fast and hard-more of being sure to press all the way down, but she did talk about how and where to lay the thread. I don't have the wood base just set it up with needle and thread and hold the base with one hand and press down with my other hand.

I have had a few and wouldn't be without one. I had one for years before it stopped working. Had to run out and get another. It is a wonderful invention. Threading needles is so easy now. Again, would not be without one.

I use the Bohin needle threader and really like it, did not have much luck with the Clover.

My piecing of choice is applique and the eyes are getting dim. I will not be without this tool and am still using one that is atleast 6 years old. Get one and enjoy!!

Good to know, since my eyesight is not what it used to be, threading needles can be very problematic for me.

I have one I use when traveling. Its hard to thread a needle on the road, so I just set it on the console and voila! no problem. Haven't used it at home though
