Threader (sewing)

How a simple threader works

Typical threader

An auxiliary device for easier threading of the sewing thread into the sewing needle is called a threader . There are various systems, the simplest of which consists of a sheet metal plate with a rhombically shaped wire loop attached to the tip . The loop is pushed with the point first through the eye of the needle and pulled back together with the thread passed through the loop. - The plate is often decorated with a head in profile.

There are also semi-automatic, mechanical devices for threading, as part of a sewing machine or as a separate table threading device .
