Owl Needle Minder

It is an enamel pin that uses magnets instead of a pointy pin. The pretty part goes on the top of your fabric and a second magnet is applied under the fabric. Instead of sticking your needle in your shirt (or whatever solution you have come up with).

Place your needle on the top when you are rethreading your needle. When putting away your work for later you can tuck your needle behind the top section so the needle won't poke you.

I must admit I was skeptical of the idea. I had seen them around and thought they were a very cute idea but not something I needed. But of course, now that I have been working with one for a few weeks I use it all the time. It is really helpful for the fine art embroidery that I do when I am not packing kits.
