SINGER Needle Threader Assistant - Automatic Hand Sewing Needle Threader

This is a nifty gadget that helps you thread a needle. I think it would fit most standardized needles. The instructions were clear and I was able to get the needle threaded on my first try. Tip: when you place the thread on the V groove, ensure you have enough slack on both sides, ie ~4-5 inches. I didn’t have to use tweezers or slooooooowwwly do anything. Although, I can see that I would have to be more careful if I had to thread something that was attached to what I was working on. I did have a problem with opening the needle compartment, because there were no instructions. You need to TWIST the dark magnet/cap off. Do I need this? No, I’m in my thirties and my eyes haven’t failed me. And I can usually get the needle on, but it is the limiting factor. And it can be a strain on my eyes to get that needle threaded, so I thought this MIGHT help reduce the negative effects on my eyes sight. I also like the magnet pick up (which you can accomplish with any magnet) and the needle compartment (which you can use pin cushions for), and a cheap 5 cent needle threader usually does the job, BUT I like nifty doo-dads that are all-in-one. I actually found this because I broke my cheap needle threader and I was in the market for a needle holder.

Love this needle threader. Made very well not cheaply made. I like magnet on bottom and storage for needles inside. Works very well. Much easier for someone who has trouble threading needles on her own. It has button for needle size. This item shipped practically overnight. I recommend this threader highly.

VERY DISAPPOINTED. EXPECTED BETTER FROM SINGER. I did read reviews and decided to take a chance when I saw the price had dropped. I tried over and over and over to get it to work with NO success. Sometimes one just has to trust the reviews. The concept is great, but if you do not have very small fingers and great young eyes can not grasp the loop of the thread, thus when you pull the needle our the thread is not in the eye.

Make your life easier. Used to use the ordinary loop like threader but this is on another level.

This really is difficult to use as a threader. Pros: The container for needles is very convenient, as is the magnet on the grey tip of the tool. The blade at the top works well for cutting thread, and has cut through 6 and 12 strand embroidery thread with barely any effort. Cons: The tool's gimmick is that it threads a needle easily with the press of the button. The tool works by pushing the thread into the eye, but it doesn't push it far enough, and when you pull the threaded needle out, more than half the time the thread pulls right back out if you aren't really careful. Another good portion of the time, not all of the threads end up pushing through. I just think the tool isn't well designed in one way or another. It's a shame because the tool is good quality and works fine, but not well enough. Especially for the price.

aunque es un buen producto da un poco de problemas enhebrar si el hilo es muy fino, aun asi es muy util

I only have a small gripe. The magnet *could* be stronger, but it works in finding lost needles or holding them until I am ready to use the needle again. Regardless, this product works great. I love that it has a switch for large and small eyes in the needles. I love that it can hold the needles in the twist off bottom; I love that I can leave thread on the needle and still store it in the bottom (I just leave the thread hanging out, and when I need the needle again, I twist off the bottom and pull the tread that has the needle instead of dumping out all of the needles.) The threader works great, even though I've been a little rough with it. :) Sometimes the threader misses the needle eye, but that is because I have used the wrong size eye for the number of threads (I tried getting three threads in a small eye..... that didn't work so well. But changing up the needle worked). The small thread cutter (razor) is easy to use and tucked in for safety.

So I ordered this for my mom for Christmas, and she really likes it! So what follows are her words and whatnot about this threader. She said that 'It threads embroidery floss as well as applique needles without a problem.' So this is definitely something that I would order again for somebody (not myself because I'm not a quilter, but I know someone who is)

IT JUST WOULD NOT THREAD NEEDLES.HAD A FEW PEOPLE TRY TO MAKE IT WORK. NO LUCK. MAYBE THIS ONE WAS A DUD.

Buen producto

The additional instructions provided by a reviewer are very helpful indeed - they should be added to the product description and packaging instructions. A fine crotchet hook also works (instead of tweezers). However, as a reviewer notes, this device is a help but its not 'automatic' and it still requires good eyesight and dexterity. I am surprised (given a possibly extensive market, including younger children in schools ) that a manufacturer hasn't yet come up with an electronic (rechargeable) needle positioner and thread 'pusher' that really is automatic. And at a reasonable price (this Singer one is towards top of price bracket likely to market well I think).

No hilvana todo tipo de agujas. Las grandes no entran y las más pequeñas el hilo se le queda fuera.

I freaking love this thing, I do a lot of full coverage cross stitch projects. Sure it's not that hard to thread a wide eye needle but when you have to do it so many times in a row as you have to with some of these projects this works a treat
