I have the Clover Desk (automatic) needle threader. I love mine. It works great for the little needles. It does not do anything for larger embroidery needles.
I resisted getting one because I was only 44 at the time... two years later I broke down and got reading glasses as well...
Cheers, K

I have been trying to use the threaders from JAF. So hard!! I also use the readers....leave them all over the house! I will try the ones recommended by the wonderful board members. Thanks for all the great information. I always learn from someone else's post!!

i have the same issue as you. one of the ladies at bee had a bohin which threads large or small needles... i was using a small betweens with silk thread and her device worked amazingly! so i ordered one from amazon the same day. it came a couple of days ago and i am just thrilled. since i'll keep it in my 'travel' kit, i wanted another one for the sewing room. so i ordered another! i never could get my clover one to work well for me.

I personally don't use one, but my friend Cindi has tried both brands and told me the Bohin was superior, so I got one for my mom. She loves it, by the way.
