A photo of my 4 favourite needle minders. The fox is current favourite for small to mid size hand held projects, because it is light and has a low profile. The teapot is also good for these projects and is currently the oldest of my needle minders (over 20 years old). The thistle is too heavy to use unless the project is on a frame but it also does a great job holding the pattern. The sheep is probably my favourite since the wool lets you dig the needle in as well for extra security.

I use needle minders and like them for keeping track of my needles. I have used decorative ones and also plain neodymium (rare earth) magnets I purchased fairly cheaply online. The decorative ones are prettier but the plain magnets are cheaper and work just as well. If I get bored some day I may try gluing buttons or charms to the neodymium magnets to pretty them up.

Hi, I saw this thread. I've just recently picked up cross stitching again and I was happily surprised when I discovered needle minders. I have bought 2 on Etsy and the seller send me an extra one as a gift. So nice of her :) I wil try to upload a picture of them if that's possible.

i prefer small ones and put them up at the top of my hoop to keep my thread from getting caught. if the magnets are very powerful, sometimes my scissors get stuck to it on the back!

I don't use needle minders but I have strong magntets on my fabric. And a magnet on the lid of the jar into which I throw rest of threads. It's really usefull! Finally I don't lose my needels :)

I just use a magnetic strip on my magnetic board that's holding the chart.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful idea!

I use a small unicorn that I love. I haven't lost a needle since I started using it and would encourage everybody to consider using them.

I used a great little needle minder called 'Needle Park Avenue' they are plastic. They have a strip to hold the needle and along the top an area to write your symbols - which you wash off when you are finished and re-use them. On the back they have a metal strip and a back plate with magnets which you place on the underside of the fabric to hold the needle minder in place. I brought them at Coleshill Accessories.

I ended up making some from charms I liked, glued a magnet to the back and done.

Yes, it is soft, and I just tape it down!

Sorry totally almost forgot. Here are a few of my needle minders I made. All I did was find a few charms I liked (helped they were all on sale), magnet buttons (tried the strips and didn't work) and some craft glue , think it was the E3000 or something like that. And go figure I can't upload a pic from my iPad *rolls eyes*. Ok give me another second to get another picture lol.
