Default Handy Needle Storage

No affiliation or ties to JoAnns, Schmetz or this container's manufacturer....
I just stumbled on this container at my local JoAnn Fabric and thought it might be handy for something. Well, it's perfect for storing machine needles, IMO. It's similar to those Rx dividers thingies - but more roomy. The compartments are 'locked' unless you press a purple 'button' on the far left that releases them so the compartments can be flipped open individually. Very sturdy, but compact. It fits into my sewing supply basket nicely.
With a coupon, it was only few dollars.
Just thought I'd share with y'all. =)


Enjoy,
Donna Mc

IF this is allowed.... here's a link to the item at JoAnn's. (Also on Amazon, but more $.)

They sure look like pill boxes. Should work great.

I hope I remember this goodie next time I'm near a JoAnn's. Great solution for all those needle flats we all seem to have.

I use a container like that for my bobbins. Using it for needle storage is ideal!

It would work for me because I switch needles sometimes when sewing. Then I get confused as to which one is which. For example, when I use the double needle, I put current needle on a piece of tape to be reinserted. This is a great idea for temporary storage of my orphan needles!
