    I use mine when the little wire isn't bent. I seem to have a knack for bending the wire on my Horizon and also my BL Imagine serger. Don't know what my problem is. I follow directions but I guess I just don't "hold my mouth right" as my mother used to say.

    My Baby Lock is a one butoon push threader and I LOVE it. Use it all the time. DH is fascinated with it. With mine, the foot has to be up as well as the needle. I always know when I have something set wrong coz she won't connect.

    I agree, practice makes perfect everytime.

    You may need to have your thread adjusted. Talk to your machine repair person.

    I use it all the time, (on my Brother and Bernina) Took me a while to learn how to use them but can't do without them now.

    I have one on my Janome 6600 P and can never get it to work properly. Will try again with some hints I saw on here.
    Otherwise, I have no trouble threading mine.

    I use mine all the time on my Bernina. At first I was holding the thread to tight so as it threaded, I actually wouldn't let the thread go into the eye of the needle.
