Sewing machine needle threader
#11
I don't think yoou have this problem but I realized that when I was using a singer needle on my brother machine...Then the threader didn't catch it since the needle always was abit lower.....
Make sure you have the right needle while using the threader ...
Good luck :D

I can get the needle threaded most of the time without problems....but it would be nice to get the threader to work too.

Can't help you there, my Elnas have the threader but I can do it quicker without so I don't use it.
Butterflywing-yes, wetting the hole in the needle helps tremendously. A friend of mine told me about it several years ago, I've been doing it ever since.

I thought I would NEVER get the hang of using mine on my Bernina...I kept telling my dealer that it just wouldn't work...she kept telling me it was "operator error" :roll: ..Now I'm so used to it..it works EVERY time and very quickly...the secret was to hit the hookie thing (that I can't see) then pull the thread slightly upwards..not really pulling, just move it..kinda., then push down the button and viola'...threaded! Thank goodness for it when I'm embroidering!

It took me a little while to get the hang of the threader on my Bernina as well. but now...... I use it every time, once in a while it make take a second try to get threaded but i think it is wonderful.
