Clover 8611 Needle Threader for Embroidery Needles-Apple Green

My vision is not what it once was. I've tried several needle threaders and this one is my top pick. I use size 39 embroidery needles. Some, with a flat metal hook tend to bend and go through the eye but catch pulling the thread through. This little gem works great. I can't speak to it's sturdiness as it only arrived today. It is a bit expensive, but when you need help threading a needle, it's well worth it. This may not work for size 12 quilting needles, but for thread embroidery it is great.Update: this great threader broke from metal fatigue at the end that goes through the needle. It's a shame, it can't last longer than 18 working days. it is too expensive to by several times a month.

Best needle threader ever. The only one I've ever seen that holds the thread vertically, aligned with the eye, not across it. I work with size 5 pearl cotton and other needle threaders damage the thick thread. With the Clover, the thread comes through the crewel eye easily and unaltered. Well worth the expense.

I am thrilled, after wasting so much time, energy and money I have finally found a threader that not only works easily, but works on a variety of needles, sizes and brands. Thank you CLOVER for coming to the rescue of hand sewers everywhere.

This little gadget has saved me endless frustration trying to thread 4 strands of embroidery thread. It’s easy to use & such a simple solution. Reasonably priced too.

I went to a mixed media retreat and took a stitching class while there. I was super frustrated trying to get my needle threaded. I had a cheap, crappy threader that was almost broken. It was useless, so I had to thread by hand. I'm not great at threading needles and felt like I was all thumbs. I noticed one of the other class members had this Clover threader and how much easier it was to thread a needle with it. Once I got home, I ordered this item. This is honestly the best threader I've ever used. I like to to freestyle/random stitching instead of the traditional embroidery that involves stitching a pattern, so I change my threads out and rethread my needle frequently. I also love using thicker threads, like perler threads. I don't feel like I'm clumsy anymore when I thread my needles and stitching is more fun now. The only drawback I can see is that this threader won't work for very tiny needles with tiny eyes, and and with those, a smaller threader would be required. If that isn't an issue for you, then this threader is the bomb!

The best threader I’ve ever used, by far! A keeper!

Es un artículo muy práctico en la costura, especialmente como ayuda para las personas que tienen dificultades para ver. Bonita presentación.

I bought this as I am a heavy embroidery thread user with thicker floss like Valdani and perle cottons. I don't like this threader at all. You have to pinch the heavy metal strand part to squeeze it through a needle. Then when you go to pull the thread back out through the needle, it "sticks" and is tough to pull it out of the needle eye. Just don't like it and it hasn't really saved me any time. As long as I can still thread a needle by hand, I will go back to doing that. I wet the floss end with my fingers and make sure it's been cleanly cut on an angle and 97% of the time, can thread it without an aid. But being old, I'm sure I'm going to pull this out and use it occasionally so I will hang onto it. Some websites make you feel like you GOTTA HAVE these gadgets, but I've learned the hard way, there are a lot of them you really don't need.
