Review on Purple Sewing πŸͺ‘ Needle Threader 4071 by Clover by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great for big eyed needles, but . . .

If you do a lot of needlepoint applications, you know that straw hat needles have a very small eye. but it quickly became clear that needle threaders are not just needle threaders. The Clover needle threader has only one hole. No matter how many times I tried, I could never thread the hatter's needles. Needles with a large eye are threaded with a fine thread. Very disappointing looking at Clover 3M sewing. . .everything they do is better in general, but the needle threader is a big mistake. So I went back to Revain to get another Bohin needle threader. Has two pinholes. . .one for large eye pins and a second, smaller hole for tiny straw hat maker pins. The Bohin needle hits the eye of the needle every time. I wish I had a second Bohin needle threader instead of this thing, live and learn.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly
