My grandmother had one like that! I was always fascinated with it.

I agree that threader is great.

I found another item by accident and love it, so I appreciate the feeling: http://www.clover-usa.com/product/0/...ed_Needle_Case

I love it for doing binding. I can have 10 needles all threaded and ready to go. I did have trouble locating more after my first one, but this way I can be ready to do binding for either a large quilt (I have been doing more queens and kings lately) or more than one quilt.

How cool!! Gotta have one of those.

Yes,if the needle too small it won't work.

I love mine!

Thanks for sharing. Where did you find this?

Saw yours and looked on ebay and have ordered one. I'm taking a hand sewing project when my husband and I go to France in our motorhome for five weeks later this month. Many thanks for the excellent tip.

I have one and love it!!! old age can't see the eye of the needle as well anymore :)
