Either I didn't understand how to use it (no directions) or there was a defect in the one that I bought. Wasted money!

Thanks for reminding me that I have one - unopened - and although I don't do a lot of hand work I really need help threading my needles. I think the needle's eyes are getting smaller, and they don't hold still. They must be getting old.

I have both the Clover and the Bohin and I love them both. The Bohin actually has two places for needles - small and large, which to me means applique and sharps. They can both be finicky, and I have had to try up to 5 times to get the needle threaded, but it eventually works. Be sure the thread is pushed all the way down into the groove.

Guess I won't be investing in one. With my eyes failing faster than I'd like to accept .too. I use "straw needles" for my hand sewing. They are quite thin and have a very small eye. Most of mine have a decidedly "C" shaped curve in them, but I still love 'em. I have learned to place a light colored paper behind when threading or use the ole cheap needle threader. You all know it.....the thin piece of tin (I guess) with a loop of steel at the end.
I have 2. Love them. Just introduced some of my quilting friends to them. Because of my "old eyes", I have a difficult time trying to thread needles, particularly the small #10 quilting needles. These really do the trick for me.
One has the stand and it does make it more stable. Also, I have found that if your needle is bent, it won't thread it. I have bought some as gifts. I think it is definitely worth the money.
