Anyway, I put a button in the space that I take the needle out of. If I use a needle but it's still good I put it back in loose and that way I know it's still good but not brand new. The different color buttons in the box are for different machines.

Wow, Scissor Queen. I love your system of keeping track of needles. And using the button is a great idea!
