After reading some of the comments, I couldn't help but wonder: why is that for some people the needle threader works all the time and for others it's a bust. Mine was working great . . . until recently. What was different? The Needles. I grabbed a package of needles at the dreaded local fabric store (please someone open a decent quilt shop near me) and went home to start on a project that has a lot of hand sewing. I wanted to scream. It threaded the first needle and then . . . zip, nada, nothing. Then I got my old package of needles out. They were Clover gold eye #10. The threader worked the first time and every other time. Hmmmm, I think I see a pattern here. Clover threader works best with clover needles.

So, if you have a threader and it's not working, grab a package of clover needles. It is sure making this hand sewing project go so much faster and easier.
