I love this thing. It's made by Clover. I'm currently hand quilting and it easily threads my
very small quilting needles. I don't recall where I got it but wherever Clover products are sold like JA.

I forgot to mention it's for hand needles, not machine.

Make sure to use this on a stable flat surface.

I don't. I just hold it in my hand.

I find these needle threaders a must-have for my hand applique work. The similar unit I have (I think it's made by Tulip) has a magnetic bottom.. Handy when you drop that slim little needle on your lap, sofa, floor, etc. and need to find it!

I am getting to the point where I need something like this. My late DH always used to call me over to thread the needle on his machine. Now when I thread mine successfully I feel like I got lucky!

Hand quilting needles have an especially small eye. I really like having this. I'm going to use it for all my hand work. I had forgotten I had it!

I’m also a big fan. Now that I use the Clover regularly for hand needles, I find It easier to use my manual Bernina needle threader for my machine. When I first got my machine 20+ years ago, the included needle threading gadget really stumped me.

I have one of those and I love it! I did find that some of the smaller embroidery needles that I am using for EPP didn't seem to work with it though. I have no idea why. But I just love mine.

When I purchased mine I recall that it works with most, but not all, needle types - something to do with the shape/size of the eye of the needle determines whether it will line up properly with the thread in this gadget. I bought the tulip threader and use tulip milliner needles and guess that's why it might work (most of the time).
