Do you mean the auto needle threader?
Mine won't work on very small needle sizes so I resort to the old manual needle threader for these. Ditto for twin needles.
Otherwise its a case of pulling the auto threader down so the hook swings into the needle eye, then pulling the thread over the face of the needle and catching it into the hook, then release the threader so it pulls back through the needle eye, taking the thread with it.
The only other thing that springs to mind is "is the needle at the top position in its stich cycle so that the threader lines up with the needle eye?
hope these ideas help a little.
I have an Elna 6001 and after using the needle threader twice it quit working. I had to hold the needle to the right to get the hook to go through the needle eye. I have since found there is a little screw on the threader, you can loosen it and slide the wire from left to right. It is very touchy, but be patient, I finally got mine centered again and it works great. It took a very tiny phillips screw driver to loosen the screw. It is an adjustment anyone can do, just takes patience to get it centered. I wish I could tell you who sent me the instructions but I can't remember. I think it was Bargain Box in Australia.
