Colonial CNT-1 CottageCutz 2-in-1 Needle Threader

This is simple and easy to use. You can use for hand or machine sewing needles. It works great. Sometimes I have trouble seeing to put the thread into the wire, but that's not the fault of the threader, it's my vision. I need a threader because I can't see well enough to thread a needle anymore. I have purchased other types of needle threaders and some only worked with some needle sizes and not others. This threader has a different size wire at each end so that you can use more than one size needle. I have only used this a short time, but it worked great. I keep it next to my sewing machine to thread my needles.

I really like this simple tool. It has two different size threaders for different size eyes. Easy to use and easy to travel with.

This is a wonderful needle threader and its size and shape make it very transportable...will take up little room in your sewing kit. But for those who have some serious vision problems it may still be difficult to thread the wire through the needle hole. I found another needle threader that automatically threads the needle for you. It's by Clover and is called the Desk Needle Threader and works wonderfully if you have vision issues.

It is surprising to me how hard it is to find a quality Threader that lasts for more than a couple days! I started by buying a couple of those $4 travel sewing kits just to use the single cheap threader inside. These threaders never lasted more than 2-3 days. I later bought the cute little colored threaders (2 pk for $3) with the inset blade on the other end. How covienant, I thought... until the threader broke in one day. Finally, I tried this product and I don't need to buy anymore! I have been using this one for over a month without any problems. Not bad for only $4. I like that the wires are protected inside the tube and that there are 2 sizes to choose from. I am using it for cross stitch and using needles with the tiniest eyes. I actually prefer the feel of the larger side. I also like that I can store my needle inside the threader tube so I don't lose the tiny thing. I highly recommend this product.

Good use of this. Thanks

Surprisingly not as indestructible as I had expected based on the long list of 5 star reviews. It's good, the "thread" sized threader only lasted about 50% of the time I've needed to invest in my daughter's applique christmas stocking. It's nice, easy to find, and easy to handle and I might buy another, but I wasn't particularly rough on it and the needle end eventually just popped out, making the threader fairly useless.

Way more expensive that the little metal tabs with the same basic wire triangle to slip through the eye of the needle to make a bigger target for the thread ---BUT--- this gadget offers two wire triangles. One on one end of a pencil like body and the other on the on the other end. Having a sturdy grip makes a difference. It's challenging enough to maneuver the needle without having to mess with the old fashioned metal tab threader that barely sticks out from your thumb and forefinger.

I purchased this because I was frustrated with how quickly the needle threaded I purchased at the local department store kept falling apart. I'd spend $3 for a 3 pack that most times I'd only get a couple uses out of before the wires would fall off/disconnect. I was a bit skeptical about this as it looked as if the wires on this could fall apart just as easily but so far it's been really sturdy despite all the use it gets. Previously the 3 packs would last maybe 3-4 days, but I've been using this well constructed gadget for over 2 months & it's still going strong. I only wish that I had found one of these a lot earlier as it would have saved me not just money but a lot of frustration. I highly recommend this handy little gadget as it might cost a bit more than the cheaper little threaded but it is more than worth it given how durable it is.
