SINGER Plastic Needle Threaders by Singer.

Ever felt like threading a needle is a cruel joke played by the universe on your eyesight? Fear not, fellow quilters, for the SINGER Plastic Needle Threaders are here to save the day! These delightful little gadgets are your new best friends, designed to conquer the age-old challenge of getting that pesky thread through the eye of the needle.

What's the Big Deal?

These threaders are the unsung heroes of the sewing world. Small but mighty, they make threading needles as easy as pie—assuming pie is easy for you. Each pack generously offers not one, not two, but three threader tools. That's right, three! Because SINGER knows that good things come in threes, like stitches in a row, spools of your favorite thread, and these threaders.

How Do They Work Their Magic?

It's almost too simple:

  1. Insert the Threader: Push the wire loop of the threader through the needle’s eye. Yes, even the teeny-tiny ones!
  2. Loop the Thread: Pop your thread through the wire loop.
  3. Pull and Voilà: Gently pull the threader back, and the thread glides effortlessly through the needle’s eye. Magic, right?
