If you have ever struggled with threading your sewing needle, you will understand just how handy a needle threader can be! This small tool is designed to make threading a needle easier, and is especially helpful for people with poor eyesight or those using needles with very small eyes.
The most common type of needle threader consists of a short, thin wire bent into a diamond or teardrop shape, attached to a handle. This needle threading tool is not only affordable, but versatile, and can be used as needle threaders for hand sewing as well as machine sewing.
Here's how these clever sewing needle threaders work:
Step One: Insert the wire loop through the eye of the needle.
Step Two: Pass the thread through the wire loop.
Step Three: Pull the threader back through the needle, bringing the thread with it.
Voila! Your needle is threaded and ready to sew!
There are many other types of needle threaders available, including:
➤Automatic needle threaders: These are often built into sewing machines and use a lever or button to automatically thread the needle. Sewing machine needle threaders can be found as an added feature on many modern sewing machines.
➤Needle threaders with magnifiers or lights: These combine a needle threader tool with a magnifying glass to make it easier to see the eye of the needle.
➤Desk needle threaders: These are standalone devices that allows you to easily thread your hand sewing needles even more quickly! Simply place your thread in the wide slot, push down the needle, and depress the lever. Done!
