Clover needle threaders (and optional stand)
 The Desk Needle Threader is the ultimate threader. Simply drop your needle in, rest your thread in the slot, press the button and you will have a pre-threaded needle! Ideal for difficult to thread floss and metallics and also for difficult to see needle eyes. It even has a built-in thread cutter! If you'd like to see the needle threader in action, click the image above or click HERE to view a demonstration video on YouTube.Also available, the Quilter's Craft Needle Threader Stand This optional affordable wooden stand helps to stabilize your needle threader so you don't need to hold it, making it easier for those of us with arthritic hands.
