Schmetz started color coding their needles at a year or so ago. I have lots of packages of the older non-coded needles but I keep them in their packages. You actually can read the size on the needle with a very very very good magnifier - honest - but it still doesn't help me. I've been using 70/10 and 75/11 Jeans, Sharps and Microtex needles - so much better than the universals and the smaller needle sizes really do sew much better.

What a delight to read your responses. Thank you all for the info (which I certainly should know by now). The color chart is great and the organization with the tomato pin cushion is a bonus. My needle drawer isn't much bigger than a tin and works great but I like the sound of having a tin with needles inside. Such creative and knowledgeable folks you are. No wonder I live here (quiltingboard). A great place to find info and friendly voices!

I just started using needles from Superior Thread that are titanium coated. They work beautifully and are said to last much longer. Anyone else have experience with them? Do you think they're worth the extra $?
