I have one. It does seem to work and I can get a little more mileage out of my needles. But I've since read somewhere that it shouldn't be used on the machine so I've started taking my needle out of the machine and poking it in repeatedly into it.

LOL! YMMV.
I have no opinion. I just buy new needles.
