You take a Sharpie and draw sections on the tomato cushion and write the needle size in the appropriate section. If you work with different types of needles you need to also mark the needle type. Then when you take the needle out of the machine, stick it into the appropriate section. If you don't remember what size the needle is the machine at any time, you need to figure out a system to note the size and type. Blue painter's tape works well coz it's easily removable.
Actually, I have seen a pincushion for sale with the markings on it.
Honestly, I am with Lee in Richmond and often use what's in the machine until it gets dull.
