Use mine constantly........sometimes that thin metal wire gets bent a bit and it will not catch and thread....you might consider taking the machine in and having that looked at....I would be lost without this feature.........

They are good to have, but mine cannot thread needles with tiny eyes, which is what I use most of the time. I was strongly encouraged to use it when I do machine embroidery, which seems like a good idea, as there are a lot of thread changes. However, my needle threader likes to shred the rayon thread, so I thread by hand and will continue to do so as long as I can see well close-up. If ever I cannot see well enough to do it, I will quit buying needles with small eyes in them and use the needle threader.

ALL THE TIME - at first I didn't get the hang of it and did it the old fashioned way, but I figured I paid so much for the machine, it's going to work!!! Practice was all I needed, hop it will work for you too. :)

I just takes one time of hitting the foot with the needle --like when I try to zig-zag with my single stitch foot.

I can almost never get mine to work. After reading all of this, I'm going to try again. Maybe my needle is not all the way up. I'll read the directions again. With my eyes, it would be wonderful to be able to use the needle threader. Thanks for the suggestions!
