My Heart!

Scroll down to see more content

All set to start my monster sewing spree, bobbins filled [and more on order] items sorted by colour, swimsuit elastic ordered…

Then I got distracted [dangerous]

Because of the job change thing, I have boxes and boxes of STUFF stuffed under chairs, tables and ironing board in my sewing room, waiting to go to the new classroom.  Boxes.  While shoving things about on the table, I knocked down my trusty [immediate use’ ferrero rocher box of THINGS.  Snips, wax block, chalks, safety pins…and my machine needle threader.  You know, the one I recommend to everyone because it’s an indispensable gadget?

So I grovelled around, moved boxes and bags, tipped things out, scooped up all the stuff.  Got totally sidelined into rationalising three or four containers of stuff into one box, shoved everything back into more sensible order, emptied the bin, took out the recycling…and my needle threader has gone.  GONE.

That’s what it felt like

I hunted, and the damn thing is gone.  BOLLOCKS

So, 2 more on order [to be on the safe side], and now back to the sewing, which will take forever as I cannot cope with threading needles any other way.

  1. Oh no!!! How does that happen – things actually disappearing into thin air. Having said that my machine comes with a needle threader which worked perfectly for a few weeks, then once I change the needle packed up and has never worked since (and this was an expensive brand new machine). I couldn’t bring myself to take it back to the shop or for a service for such a small thing, but maybe I need to do that now.

    1. Well of course, despite scouring a very small room, as soon as I ordered new ones, the ruddy thing turned up in absolute plain view, right where I’d been looking. Damn those sewing gnomes! Shall I send you one of the ones I’ve ordered?

      1. On the other hand if you hadn’t ordered a new one the original would not have turned up. It’s a law of physics – Schroedinger’s cat or something like that. I once did the same thing with a lost library book and ended up with 3 copies of one dull (but sadly expensive) book.

      2. Gotta say, I was 100% confident you’d find your fancy doomajiggie as soon as you ordered not one, but two replacements!

        I have to say (too lazy to go back in posts to find previous recommendations), I’ve never heard of this thingie. Is this for a machine that doesn’t have an automatic threader-whose-its? I did not know it existed, but if my threader-whose-its dies, I hope my squirely brain retains this discovery.

      3. Yep the little doodad threads machine needles, a hook for snagging the thread [useful for the overlocker] and at the other end has a nifty little holder for inserting needles as well. Very useful for fumble-fingered me! The desktop threader that I adore is for hand sewing needles, a wondrous beast!

  2. Glad it turned up…always a good thing to have spares if the truly indispensable stuff too. I knew you had something for threading hand sewing needles but didn’t realise there was a machine one. I tend to rely on tweezers and licking the end of the thread 🙂

      1. The Clover desktop one works for me, and then it Stops. Utterly Stops. Waves it’s little plastic hand in the air like it just don’t care. Bollocks indeed. I am glad the heir and the spares will be threading for you.

      2. Lol some needles it threads with its hands behind its back, some you have to wiggle and jiggle and swear at. Still easier than trying any other method! I love the thing to death.
