I always keep the plastic needle case to the right of my sewing machine. There's only ever one case out, the rest are in a drawer in my sewing machine cabinet, or you could put them in a box. I generally only use a few sizes and they are color coded, so it would be easier to figure out what's what if I needed to.

Great ideas! I need to adopt some. While I am good about changing my needle, I have to guess when I should. I never know how long it has been.

It still makes me giggle to think that anyone is that organized! I'm so so glad you are, though:)

Since this photo was taken, I've labelled all the needle packet pockets and when I've got a particular needle in one of my machines I put a coloured pin in the corresponding felt strip. [ATTACH=CONFIG]382490[/ATTACH] |
Some great ideas. I'll have to give them a try.

Hope you don't mind...I am borrowing your idea. Thanks!

I'm not organized enough or have the patience to deal with machine needles. If I don't remember or lost control of what needle is what, I just get a new one the size I want and not get stressed over it. Machine needles are too cheap to be frustrated over.
