Simply place the 1" round sticker of your choice onto your magnet. VOILA! Needle minder.

When my needle is not attached to mine, I use it as a place to put my thumb. This means less oil and stains on my fabric. YAY

Thanks guys! I can't take all the credit. I simplified an idea I found somewhere else.

Also forgot to mention to put one magnet on the back to hold the pretty magnet in place.

Nice tip!

I thought gluing a strip of cork to the sides of my scroll was innovative. LOL. :grin:
