I change the needle every 8-10 hours of sewing....but I do keep a couple in my pincushion that don't seem to have been used as hard. I keep them for when I'm putting a zipper into a jean purse...always break a needle when doing that...so at least I'm breaking a used needle instead of a fresh one. :oops:
