I use the “foamies” found at your local discount stores. I use the star shape and pull one side down so it will temporarily stick on my machine. I write the size of needle I am using for that particular machine. When I change to a different needle, then it is easy to run the needle into the foamie and file away if it is still a good, usable needle. The next time I need that needle, there it is on the foamie with the type that it is. Has made my life so simple!!
What a great idea! You can not only know what the needle size is while it’s in the machine, but after you take it out as well.
This is a really cool idea!
Great idea, thanks for sharing. I think I will try that method.
I don’t know what the foamy things are … but great idea!!
LOVE it! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea. Love it
Fantastic idea, good way to keep track of needles, if one is switching between projects. This one I know I will use. Thanks a bunch
Great idea. I’m gonna try that.
Very clever! Thank you for sharing this tip!
Wonderful suggestion. Thank you so much
Hi, I live in South Africa, please tell what a “foamie” is, this sounds like a fantastic tip which I would love to make use of.
[editor's note: Foamies are small pieces of foam rubber - usually cut into shapes, and they have adhesive on the back. You can see some here:
