Needle Minders - Needlework Magnets Rose on Lilac Curious Cat Cranes on Navy Nita's Peacock Miller's Drangonflies Example of Needle Minder on Embroidery Click on image for enlargement

NEEDLE MINDERS Needlework Magnets Beautiful and unique needlework magnets hold your extra needles while stitching your embroidery or cross-stitch. The raised areas of the minders (accept Nita's Peacock) are carved out of resin and have remarkable detail. HOW TO USE THE MINDER As many of us know it is easier to have 2 or 3 needles on the go at one time when working on an embroidery or cross-stitch so that you can carry the thread from one location on the embroidery to another. When you are not using one of the threads it is easier to leave the thread hanging off the embroidery to one side rather than finishing the thread and having to begin it again later on. Sometimes when one has several needles on the go the threads become tangled. The best way to prevent this is to place a needle minder on the front of the fabric at the side of the frame, and place the separate magnet on the back of the fabric directly below the needle minder on the front. The minder is held in place by the magnet on the back.  The needle and threads that are not in use can then be brought up to the front of the work and placed on top of the magnetic needle minder to keep the thread out of the way (see picture of needle minder in use on the squirrel embroidery below). When you turn the frame over to finish a thread off you do not have needles and threads dangling off the embroidery as the needles are held on the minder. NEEDLE MINDER SIZE Approximately: 1 3/4 inches (4 1/2 cm) by 1 1/4 inches (3 1/4 cm) COST (TSSNM) Needle Minder: $10.75 Canadian Dollars Quantity: Needle Case: Rose on Lilac Curious Cat Cranes on Navy Nitas Peacock Millers Dragonflies View Cart View the   Shopping Cart for mailing costs.
