    Can't be bothered with it. Takes forever to learn to use it and I can thread it in just a second or two.

    I use mine too ... they do have one for different size needles. I know the really small eye needs the one for the smaller needle.

    Connie, I'm just like you. At first I was determined to get the hang of it but I didn't feel like waiting months or years, so I thread by hand.

    the little hook that catches your thread could be bent very easy to bend it .then it doesn't go in the eye of the needle.
