Needles--Found Solution to Problem
#1
I had posted earlier about figuring out the size of needles. I ordered a 40X mini lighted magnifying glass from E-Bay for $10.00. It works. The size is very small on the needles, so this was my solution.

I too have a magnifying glass for this task. When I change needle size i I have one of those tomato pin cushions that w/ black magic marker I have marked needle sizes. 11's go in the 11 section, 14's in the 14 section . . .etc. Now all I have to do is check the needle size once and I when I need a different size I use one from the tomato!!
