I notice it’s kind of a large needle.

This may be something a person might stumble upon but no one is going to just think of it. It’s just not that obvious. I’ve never had enough trouble threading a needle to much care to find a new way.

Then again, I thread a needle on the first try anyway...

Not sure if that works on the vintage Singer foot pedal unit I pulled out.

I quilt. My needles are very tiny and my thread is very stiff. I tried it and could not make it work. A bigger eye and yes it works. But I can thread those needles the old way. It is clever but not ground breaking.

It is an easy threading needle, notice the top of the needle.

Use 138 thread and a 22 needle and you won’t have any problems...LOL
That’s what I use on my Pfaff 1245.

I bought a set of needles (tapestry, rounded, etc.) plus plain easy thread sewing needles. They had a hinged top that you could just slip the thread in and presto, it was threaded. Not practical for everyday sewing but when you have to sew something quickly (button, etc.) they are great since that it the only time it seems impossible to thread the normal needles and you are always in a hurry.

Like the other 5 million people I found this wasn’t in fact BS, and it works perfectly.

I tried it with a regular 2” or so long needle from the sewing kit I use to sew buttons on with, and it threaded perfectly three times in a row without a problem. The eye in the needle was probably twice the diameter of the thread, whatever they typically are. Certainly not oversize.

It looks like the flat part of the needle has to be against the skin.

I guess this shows how quickly we lose the technology of the past. My mom had these in her sewing kit. They have been around for probably 100 years.

Thanks for posting that! I inherited an old sewing box, and one of those Clover thing-a-ma-jig things was in it. I never knew what it was for until now.

That is a wonderful invention. Works every time I use it. :)

Seems to fit thru even the smallest eye--microwire of some sort.
