There are two that are new to me. The mini gripper and the Mister. Great ideas!

I'd seen the mini gripper, but not the mister.

That was a good link to check out. I'm always afraid there might be something new out there that I don't have;) If there is any one in the whole wide world that doesn't have that Clover needle threader you'd better run right out and buy it! I was introduced to these at my very first quilting class and bought one before I asked the price. When I paid for it I thought it was a bit pricey but boy have I used that thing. It's the one gizmo that really works. Bought another one when the LQS was having a sale so I have an extra one in case I lose track of the original. Jan/cool refreshing breezes in PA

Minniemouse, I'm a bit naive, but what is the Clover needle threader? Is that the one for threading machine needles, or for hand sewing needles? thanks, from hot and muggy eastern PA. carol/kittyquilt

Hi Carol, If you go to the above webdsite it is the eighth item down. It is brown in color. It is for threading hand sewing needles. It's great if you are a hand quilter or just sewing a button on. Just put the needle eye down in the hole, wrap your thread around and push the lever and your needle is threaded. The first one I paid $15.00 for...yikes!!! (remember I forgot to ask the price) I have a little bag that I take my thimble and needle threader where ever I go. You'd be surprised when it has come in handy......Jan in beautiful downtown Punxsutawney
