Magnetic Needle Minders mind our needles so we don't have to :) How do you use yours?

I have been sewing since I was six and I had never heard of a needle minder until today at the ripe old age of 73. Thank you.

I use my needle minder to hold my little sewing scissors on my shirt. This way I have it handy no matter where I am; sewing at my machine, hand sewing or when working at my quilting machines. They are always handy to snip a thread wherever I am!

[lauranugent]

Much better than my usual way! Not that I have ever gone out and realized that my sewing needle or pins were still poked in my shirt.

Yes, I definitely need a few needle minders! Have couple cross stitch projects & hemming that needs to be finished...that's 3 needle minders! TY Laura for bringing this valuable little tool to our attention!

Finally I know what needle minders are! Thanks.

I've cross stitched since I was 11 years old (I'm 62) and I'd never heard of needle minder until about last fall. I have one now that I use all the time! I keep it attached to the fabric in my hoop so my needle is close at hand. It was pretty hard picking one, there are so many to choose from! I had no idea this little gadget was out there and I'm glad I now have one.

Be sure to use rare earth magnets. Don't use the black magnets. The black ones can leave a stain on the fabric. Needle minders are great for holding charts to the fabric. Stops needles from rusting into the fabric if they've been left for a long time. I'll sometimes thread 2 needles at once (when I'm doing a large area of one colour) and leave the 2nd needle on the minder. If I'm doing the Parking method when I'm cross stitching I'll sometimes wrap the hanging threads around a needle minder. (Parking is when you leave the thread in position on the fabric ready to get back to it later.

Hello! I hope this quick note finds you in good spirits and healthy. I have a busy day in my sewing room and now I'm sewing a little tea mat for my living room end table while I watch you. I hope you have a wonderful evening! Thanks for posting this video!

I use needle minders mostly for my cross stitching. They are a handy tool!

[paulasmith]

Hi Laura first time hearing about a needle minder. I cross stitch also and it would have come in handy. Thanks for the tip.

[cherylschultz]

I never knew this item existed! Definitely getting a couple of them! Thank you for sharing.

[catherinerolfson]

I have had one for years and am going to buy several more. They’re great!

[bethjones]

I use small tins I have collected for “thread catchers”. I have one with every hand stitching bag I have (binding bag, EPP, cross stitch). I put my needle minder on the tin lid.

[deek]

I bought a custom one on etsy! Now my kitty's precious photo minds my needles🙂

[Snapwhiz]

I definitely need these for when I hand stitch my bindings. Thanks for the explanation and ideas!

[dianadoughty]

what a great idea Laura. Just ordered some sewing machine needle minders. I so enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing

[annamaewatson]

I put mine on the lampshade near my chair.

[cherylhendershot]

I did not even know these things existed! Thank you for sharing! ❤

I make my own, have them everywhere. Use them with cross stitch, quilting epp, my 91yr old mum uses one for her longstitch.
