I had the auto threader on my Janome and broke it because I didn't know the needle has to be in the "up" postion by pushing the up button. If you get yours fixed this might help in the future. I just took it off and found I have no difficulty threading needles since I read there is a notch above the eye in all needles so I just push right above the eye and it slips in every time. I haven't bent the auto threader on my new Brother, and it doesn't have an "up" button, so it may be a matter of time. :-)
