I bought one of those 12-drawer organizers that my husband uses in his workshop. I use it for all my hand needles.

I put hand-quilting needles in one compartment, embroidery needles in another. I put different sized needles in different drawers. I label the drawers with the type and size of the needles.

It has worked out great for me. Try it, you'll like it!

On my next trip to Wal-Mart I plan to pick up one of these "needle chests". I need to organize my sewing machine needles. This would make it easier to inventory my needle supply to see which needles I need. Thanks, Judie, for a great idea.
