Once those bobbins are gone I clean my machine and remember it is time to change the needle because the needles are in the slot beside my bobbins. After this I then put the needles in the far left slot so I know that I did it.

I do a lot of applique so change the needle every other project or so, unless it's huge one, then I change it as soon as it's done. With quilting, I change it every other project on those the size of a baby quilt or wallhanging.
I am pretty consistent, 'cuz I just don't like dealing with problems....
