    My mom would have loved this gadget! She loved to sew but couldn't see to thread the needle so that was my job when I was a girl. She quit sewing when I left home.

    I need to get one for my Mom. I'm always having to thread needles for her. Thank you for sharing.

    I was always thinking of getting one and wondered if they really worked. Connecting Threads has them in the catalog, 40% off right now. I am going to order mine today!

    Good idea! Connecting threads has much (or all?) of their tools and things on sale. I just bought a Fons and Porter design wall to try.....plus some other little do-dads that I thought I had to have! Too bad I didnt know about the needle threader, I would have gotten that too!

    I have one but can't get it to work, I think it depends on the needle you are using, they don't work for all needles

    I have one and absolutely love it! Well worth the money!

    The only time I've had problems is if my needle has a very tiny eye/hole.
