I've seen needle inserter for sergers. No fingers in your way.

Make sure the needle carrier is as high as possible and the foot is down...that helps alot! Linda

Thank goodness someone posted about this!! I have a Singer Serger and I have never had to replace the needle until now. I couldn't get that darn thing in there to save my soul!!! I'm going to look into that little gadget that will help me!
