I have two of them, I lose things in this mess and I love them. Connecting Threads has the best price I have found on these and they are having a sale. I love notions and gadgets. Have to many? Nah

I bought mine last year at my favorite LQS. I use it everyday. I agree, how did I ever live (see?) without it. I even bought one for my DS who also quilts.

I bought this from Missouri Star Quilt company and it only uses certain kind of needles, none that I had, and was so disappointed it wouldn't work for me.

I have a Connecting Threads gift certificate that I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for. Now I know! Thanks!

Wow! The older I get, the more I need one.

Thanks so much for sharing. I had no idea. I've seen those other threaders - if I can't get the thread thru the eye, how on earth am I gonna get the THREADER thru the eye?

May have to visit the LQS this afternoon!

One of the best little gadgets around. You will just love it, had one for years!

I suppose I could have bought two "defective" ones but I said "oh well" great idea but dosn't work for me.

Think I'll go look at mine more closely. Maybe mine is broken instead of my needle being too little.

I've been having a fit trying to thread my needles 'cause I have a hard time trying to get even a wire threader thru the eye! I WILL get one of these! I'll bet it could be used to thread the needle for my FW, then fit it in? THANKS!

I bought one of those at the Sewing and Quilting Expo from http://www.romwoodworking.com/shopping/miscellaneous/ and asked my self the same question. How DID I ever live without this?!!
