I need an automatic needle threader for a Brother NS30 Le

Hello, Jacqueline -

I am not familiar with the Brother FS120QCi sewing machine. Nor have I been able to find ANY information online about that model of sewing machine.

Therefore, I suggest you locate the authorized Brother sewing machine repair business where you reside, make a phone call, and as one of the repair technicians there about the needle threader for your model of machine.

From information I found on other models of Brother sewing machines with needle threaders, the needle threader is an all-metal or metal and plastic piece which affixes to the machine. You can see images of some sewing machine needle threaders here:

Best wishes.

The needle threader is a very delicate item on the machine. What is your question? As always, please have a trained technician make the repair for you, they have access to any parts you may need and they can do it safely too!
Cheers,

Brother automatic threader repair

Always make sure the hand wheel is at the exact top. Have you replaced the need recently? If it's bent, then the threader will not work. If the needle is loose or not all the way to the top in the holder, it will also cause the threader to not work.

make sure the needle is inserted all the way into the needle holder
also make sure the needle is turned the right way in the needle
holder

The automatic needle threader is very tiny and easily bent or damaged; however, it is designed not to turn if needle is not at its most upper position to protect the threader. Turn the hand wheel until the needle is at the highest position. If the needle is not aligning with the threader hook, you will need to replace it. And you can replace the needle threader hook if it is bent. I hope this helps!Jimmy

No. The manual in the box is for several models of machine. One version is a 26 stitch, the other 35. You probably have the 26 stitch model, which does not come with a needle threader.

When you activated the threader, the needle was down and the threader came off or broke.

If it is not broken, you may be able to push it back into place.

Turn off the power and tip the machine back on some towels so it does not slip and with a flash light check the area where it fits and see if you can get it back into position.

If not, will have to thread the needle the old fashion way.

Check with your Brother dealer to see if they can look at the machine while you wait.

They may be able to get it back together or they will have to replace the threader.

It is possible they will have one in stock, or they may have to order it.

Please refer to page 33 of the user's manual.

The needle has to be in the highest position for the needle threader to align with the eye of the needle.

Threaders will not work if the eye of the needle is too small for the wire on the threader.

Sometimes the wire gets bent if it was forced against a needle that was too small or if the needle was not in the correct position for the threader to work.

The wire can be bent back into place, but you have to be careful as it is very thin and can break.

If the wire is broken, the dealer can order a new threader - they are not very expensive and are easy to install.

Hi - first, make sure that you raise the needle to as far up as it will go. When you thread the machine, make sure you pass the thread through each number along the path - there is a hook on the threader mechanism that is really easy to miss. It is always a good idea to refer to the book when you are having a problem.

You might also try changing the needle. The threader has a teeny hook that goes in to the eye of the needle from behind, grabs the thread, and pulls it back thru the eye of the needle.

The threader can go out of alignment. If you got the machine last fall, it should still be under warranty. You can call Brother and ask where you can take the machine for repair. Or, you can go to Brother's website and look for information that might be helpful.

Good luck,
Ginny
