Great Needles!
#12
What a fun piece of information! Here is what I've done with my tomato pincushion; with a fine point sharpie pen I've labeled each "section" of my tomato with what type of sewing machine needle it holds. I have a section for quilting, denim, universal, sharp, ballpoint..... Sure makes it easier to find the right, slightly used sewing machine needle.

Oh my gosh. I have a pincushion that belonged to my grandmother and my mother! It must have a LOT of stuff inside. I don't know if I could bear to cut it open though. Maybe if I make myself a new cuter one I would be able to part with it.

I have the wool cushions and I find needles poking thru and then I squeeze to get them out. I also use the titanium needles on my machine. They are great! Oh, one word of caution...don't leave needles and pins on the bed, I have remnants of a pin in my foot for 42 years!!!
