Needle Sorting Pincushion

 This Needle Sorting Pincushion is no ordinary pin cushion! Designed to keep and organize your sewing machine needles, this is in fact a “needle sorting needle cushion”, made to organize used sewing machine needles that are not yet worn out.

• FACT: There are many needle types and sizes for different projects and fabrics, so if you are sewing with different materials often, you’re changing your needle faster than it wears out!
• FACT: The markings on sewing machine needles are tiny. Can you read the inscriptions? Once you remove a needle from the needle box, it’s hard to find out exactly what size or type it is.
• FACT: I often forget what kind of needle I have on my machine. Do you?

Use this little pin cushion to temporarily keep a sewing machine needle until you need it again for your next project! Go to Instructions & More to read how to get the most use out of this pin cushion.

The table that is printed on the pincushion contains 6 different needle sizes (60 to 100) and 7 needle types (Universal, Microtex, Ballpoint, Stretch, Denim, Serger and Embroidery).

• Size: 4 x 4 x 2 inches

• Weight: 0.61oz (17.4 gm)

• Material: canvas sleeve with polyester filling

The MadamSew “everything-you-need-to-know-about-sewing-machine-needles” guide comes with the Needle Sorting Pincushion.

 Every time you remove a needle from the pincushion to use on your machine, put a pin in the corresponding square in the table to mark which needle you are currently using.. When you change the needle for another type or thickness, remove the pin and place the needle in the corresponding square so you can reuse your needle later and keep it organized at the same time. This is shown with the yellow headed pin in the photo.
