How to Use the Singer Automatic Needle Threader

If there’s one thing I have learned about needle threaders, it’s that they’re delicate and temperamental. To use the automatic needle threader to thread the needle, here’s what to do.

First, lower the presser foot.

Then, lower the needle threader lever about halfway down using the associated threader. Hook the thread onto the guide, which is an upside-down, metal V-shape. The thread goes from the top right and under the V and then around the guide to your right. (As if you were threading counterclockwise.)

Then, lower the needle threader all the way down and rotate it towards you. You’ll see the hook pass through the eye of the needle. (If it doesn’t, you may need to adjust your needle height or centration.)

Inside the big hook in the eye of the needle, there’s a super tiny hook. I zoomed in as much as possible with my picture, so sorry if it is grainy! Now, pull your thread back into the big hook and catch it on the tiny hook. It helps catch the hook more easily if you run the thread along the back of the guide from bottom to top.

While still holding the end of the thread, rotate the needle threader back from the needle and allow it to return to its original position. As this is happening, the thread is pulled through the eye of the needle.
