Someone gave a tip on here awhile back to wet the back of the hole in the needle and thread will pull right through. I tried it and it works wonderfully!!!

My Brother embroidery machine has a needle threader that works but the threader on my Janome has never worked. I can not walk, drive or sew without my glasses but I have to take them off to thread a needle.

That works for me.

I loved my threader on my machine until it bent and now I cannot line it back up. Neighbor gave me some of those cheapy ones, I was so excited. I will use those!

I have poor eyesight., even with a magnifier, but the white paper behind is better than nothing. I will look for one of the little needle threaders that are mentioned here. the one on my machine works part time.........LOL jacie

I love my needle threader on my machine, but for years I just kept a wire needle threader stuck to my machine with velcro, if it broke, and they do, I just stuck the piece of velcro to the new one. I also went to Walmart and got a lighted magnifying glass for $15.00
