I wonder if anyone else has tried the Desk Needle Threader by Clover. I got one and for me it is wonderful. Hand quilting requires a lot of threading and because they don't make eye glasses like they use to, I wanted to give it a try.
I threaded 3 packages of needles on my spool and it was a snap.
If anyone else has trouble with this, you may want to give the threader a try.

Thanks for the suggestion - will check it out!

Sounds like a great product. I find myself having a harder time threading my needles. I'm sure it's the needles and not my eyes. :D :D :D

I've got 2 of them -- one in my "travel" kit and one on my sewing table. Love them, love them, love them!!!

At a workshop I attended last yr one of the ladies had just purchased one of these Clover Desk Needle Threaders. I did chuckle to myself as she didn't have a clue how to use it. I think there were pics on the actual unit showing you how to use it.
Well my point is this little piece of equipment is an absolute god send - mind I still haven't got around to buying one for myself. Maybe once I get into the needleturn applique scene on a more regular basis I will invest in one. They are definately worth every penny I have to say.

I have one but it works when it wants to. I cannot get it to thread the small size quilting needles at all. The bigger the needle the better it works.

I have one and love, love , love it. It does not work with size 12 needles, nor does it work for Roxannes needles, but for most of my size 11s it works great. I have seen a similar threader made by Bohin that has two slots for different types of needles that may work for the tiny needles.

I have one too and my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner!!!

I used to be able to thread any needle, Then my children grew up and suddenly those needle holes got smaller!

My solution .....

Dritz looped needle holders!

At first, I got them at Hancocks ... later I have found them in other places.

Happy Quilting, my sisters (and quilting~Brothers)...
