Clover 8611 Needle Threader for Embroidery Needles-Apple Green

Use this to thread wool in needlepoint needle. It is the best threader I've found. Works beautifully every time. Oh, I've been needlepointing for over 70 years and this is the best.

Best needle threader on the market. The loops break but I still keep buying them. Use mainly for tapestry and chenille needles.

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'm not a sewer per se but I do small repairs and sew on buttons as needed. This needle threader is very easy to use and for those of us who have issues seeing "close work", this is a game changer. I've never used one before so I can't compare one to another - this one worked very well for me and I'd totally reco it!

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.

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.

This was perfect when I first got it but after some use the metal loop split at the end. It still works, just not as well. I don’t think I’d buy it again when there are cheaper options that will last just as long.

This is the BEST thing ever invented. I mean for needle-workers. I have been looking all over the place for a sturdy and size appropriate needle threader. I have larger fingers and I do a lot of needle/embroidery work and in all different types of threads, so sometimes those little metal ones would be good for one strand and then it had to be replaced. This, so far, has held up to some pretty durable stuff and I would totally recommend this product and I will probably buy a dozen, just in case when the world finds these things and they become $100+, because that is what I think they are worth. Also, they have a hole-notch at the base so you can string it your necklace, eyeglass chain, whatever it is that you use. I for one think this is awesome because I buy chap-stick about two times a week because I cannot keep one for the life of me.
