If you’re like me, and you sew with different weights and types of fabric, it can be difficult to remember which needle you last used in your sewing machine.
First, you can write it on a sticky note and stick that to your machine. Simple, but it does take a bit of effort and if you’re leaving it on for a while, that sticky note may not stick so well and float away.
Leave a scrap of fabric under the needle of your machine. When you head back to sew your next project, you’ll remember what your last project was and, hopefully, what needle you used.
Using the needle case works really well when the packet only contains one size of needle. But what if you have one of those assorted needle packets with different sizes in one case?
