Claim:
A needle threader, which comprises: a pair of scissors having a first member and a second member rotatably connected to one another at a pivot point, each member having a handle end and a cutting end separated by said pivot point, said cutting end having a cooperating cutting edge, wherein said scissors further includes: (a). said first member handle end also being a loop support base; (b). a threading, loop connected to said loop support base; (c). said second member handle end also being a needle holder base; (d). a needle cradle located on said needle holder base; (e). a loop passage guide located on said needle holder base and intersecting said needle cradle at a predetermined angle, and being biased toward one end of said needle cradle; and, (f). a thread insertion hole located on said needle holder base, adjacent to and connected to said loop passage guide; said loop support base and said needle holder base being moveably connected to one another via said pivot point of said scissors so that said threading loop may be inserted into said loop passage guide and extended into said thread insertion hole by movement of said loop support base toward said needle holder base; and, such that a user may insert a needle into said needle cradle with the needle eye located at the intersection of said needle cradle and said loop passage guide, the user may then move said loop support base toward said needle holder base by closing said scissors handle ends so as to insert said threading loop into said loop passage guide, through said eye of said needle and into said thread insertion hole, the user may then insert thread through said thread insertion hole and through said threading loop, and the user may then move said loop support base away from said needle holder base by opening said scissors handle end so as to withdraw said threading loop from said thread insertion hole, from said eye of said needle, and from said loop passage guide so as to thread said needle with said thread.
