Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Needle Threader with integrated cutter is designed for sewists and quilters of all skill levels who struggle with the precision required for manual needle threading. This tool significantly reduces eye strain and speeds up project preparation by offering a reliable mechanism to feed thread through small needle eyes, though users with very fine-gauge needles may find the wire loop requires a delicate touch to avoid bending.

FAQs
Can this be used for machine sewing needles?
This tool is primarily designed for hand sewing needles. Machine needle eyes are often different in shape and may not be compatible.
Is the built-in cutter sharp?
Yes, it is designed for clean cuts of standard sewing thread, but it is not intended for cutting thick fabrics or heavy-duty cords.
What should I do if the wire loop bends?
You can gently attempt to straighten the wire with your fingers, but take care not to snap the thin metal loop.
Does this work with embroidery floss?
It works best with standard-weight threads. Thick embroidery floss may be too bulky to pull through the eye of a standard needle.
How many threaders are included?
The pack includes two individual Hemline needle threaders.
Troubleshooting
Wire loop will not pass through the needle eye
Ensure the needle eye is not clogged with debris or fabric residue; try using a slightly larger needle or a different type if the needle eye is too small for the wire.
Thread slips out of the loop during threading
Ensure you are feeding enough thread tail through the loop and keep the thread taut while pulling the wire back through the needle eye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; the Hemline H237 is ready to use straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with most standard hand-sewing and quilting needles. To maintain the tool's longevity, avoid bending the fine wire loop unnecessarily, as repeated extreme deformation can weaken the metal. Keep the tool clean by wiping it with a dry cloth to ensure no lint buildup affects the thread cutter's efficiency. Store in a dedicated sewing organizer to protect the wire loop from being crushed by other heavy tools.
