I love mine as I mentioned before. I load up about a needle, stick it in, wind the thingy and there you go. I get about 10 needles in there. I know a guild member who sat on her pincushion and had to lie down in the back seat to get to the ER where she had to explain to about 10 people why she had at least one needle completely unexposed in you-know-where. I'd much rather sit on this thing.
