You're supposed to change needles? ROFL - probably once a year.

i hate to change needles,so when one breaks I must. I like the micro ones they last through a project fairly well.

Donna, Where was that picture taken? Looks like a European castle. I haven't figured out whether I want to do a picture or avatar -- hmmm -- maybe it should be one of my quilts.

If the thread starts shredding and breaking, or if I break the needle.
