Needle Threader issuesUpdated a month ago

Needle threaders are incredibly useful but delicate tools. The tiny hook must align perfectly with the needle’s eye to work properly. Using it incorrectly can bend or break the hook, something not covered by warranty.

Common causes of needle threader failure include:

• Needle not positioned correctly, causing the hook to hit the needle’s shank
• Needle eye too small (size 11 or smaller)
• Thick thread used with a small needle, which strains the hook

1. Replace the Needle

• Start fresh with a new needle.
• Make sure the needle is pushed all the way up into the needle block before tightening the clamp screw.

2. Position the Needle Correctly

• Press the "Needle Up/Needle Down" button to set the needle to the correct threading position.
• If your machine doesn't have this button, check your manual for the proper needle position.

Check the Thread

• Use good quality thread brands like Gutermann or Madeira.
• Poor Quality of unsuitable thread can cause threading issues.

Final Step: Inspect for Damage

If problems continue after these steps, the needle threader hook may be bent or broken. It will likely need professional replacement to restore proper function.

By following these steps, you’ll help prevent damage and keep your needle threader working smoothly!
