The repairman said he tested that 10 times, during the repair. I believe he did, but some part isn't lining up or is bent, so next service call, I will get the newer version installed. I can see that it really takes some practice.

I loved mine when it worked, but now something is wrong. I figure when I have to take it in to be fixed, they can fix that too. Guess I need to have DH look at it, he fixes everything else that goes wrong on it. Some of the newer machines are fantastic at threading, mine is ho-hum.

Always. The small hook can get bent. Check to make sure it's straight. Also check to make sure the threader and eye of the needle line up. A little turn of the hand wheel can help with that.

I actually used my auto-threader all the time----until it broke. I'm going to ask how much to fix it when I take my machine in for a cleaning. However, with the crazy way some things are priced (a cleaning, almost $100.00 :-( ) I expect that I will have to decide fixing the threader is too costly to fix. We will see.
