Way too big for a quilting needle, these are meant for long-eye needles. I use curved needles to baste quilts, and also to tie quilts. This needle threader enables me to VERY easily thread #5 pearl cotton into my curved needles for tying.  You don't have to aim your thread through any kind of hole, large or small; you just lay it over the hooked-end protruding through the eye and then pull the hook and thread through.  Why use anything else? And perhaps best of all, this will NEVER BREAK on you. A magnetic needle nest is a good place to store it, although I just opened the package in a way that I can replace it after each use, because I don't use it that often. That keeps it safe and easy to locate. There is also a hole through this, so you can attach a cord of some kind to make it easier to keep tabs on. Then you can hang it around your neck while using to avoid dropping and losing it. This works well with curved needles and Chenille needles, but don't expect it to work with regular sewing needles because the hook is too large. Most other needle threaders are cheap garbage. I'm thinking of trying the Spiral Eye Side-Threading Needles (no going through the eye...the thread slides into a slot on the side of the eye.)
