Needle Threader for Singer XL400

If your Singer needs a new needle threader, this is the part listed for the Singer XL400.

This list comes from the distributor's listing for this part. If your model is not named, do not assume it fits — check the part you are removing against the specification below, or ask us with your model number before ordering.

What this part does

The built-in needle threader is the lever-driven hook that swings through the needle eye and pulls the thread through. The hook is fine wire and bends easily if the needle is not at its highest point when the threader is used.

Specifications

How to tell if this is the right one

Match by the model list. Threader mechanisms are specific to the needle bar position and the eye height of the machine.

Signs you need this part

The hook misses the eye, is bent, or the lever no longer returns.

Fitting it

Usually one or two screws behind the needle bar cover. Confirm the hook passes cleanly through the eye of a new size 80/12 needle before closing up.

Questions about this part

Does this needle threader fit the Singer XL400?

Yes. The Singer XL400 is on the distributor's fitment list for this part. If your model is not listed on this page, send us the model number and we will check before you order.

Is this the original Singer part?

It is listed by our distributor under the Singer brand name. We describe every part exactly as the distributor lists it and make no claim beyond that.

Why does my threader miss the eye?

Most often the needle is not fully raised or is inserted the wrong way round. If it still misses with a new needle at the top of its travel, the hook is bent and the threader needs replacing.
