FAQs
How do I use the needle threader?
Insert the wire loop through the needle eye, thread the thread through the loop, and pull the threader back through the needle eye.
What is the thimble used for?
The thimble protects your finger while you are sewing by providing a surface to push the needle through fabric.
What type of needles can I use the threaders with?
The threaders are compatible with most standard sewing needles, provided the eye of the needle is large enough to accommodate the wire loop.
How do I clean the thimble?
The thimble can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
What if the needle threader wire breaks?
If the wire breaks, use another threader from the set.
Is the thimble adjustable?

Can I use this set for machine sewing?
This set is primarily designed for hand sewing. The needle threader may be useful, but the thimble is less relevant for machine sewing.
Troubleshooting
Needle threader wire bends or breaks.
Handle the threader gently. If bent, try to reshape it carefully. If broken, use another threader from the set.
Difficulty threading the needle.
Ensure the thread is trimmed cleanly. Use the threader to pull the thread through the needle eye. Make sure the needle is not too fine for the threader.
