This is very similar to the needle threader that came with my Imagine Wave. I use it on any machine that doesn't have an automatic threader.

I have come up with a solution for threading needles. I bought a pair of magnified reading glasses. Your needle is twice as big and you don't have to worry about looking over the line on your bifocals. My machine self threader works but sometimes I have to be persistant. (if you know what I mean) So, I use my prescription glasses to walk to my sewing room, then set them in a safe place (the same everytime you sew)and slip on the reading glasses to use for sewing and for threading that doggone needle. :)

Someone may have already said this - and I haven't read the entire thread. Pfaff has a VERY inexpensive threader for sale that works beautifully on any machine. It comes with their sergers - but they sell it, too.
