Our magnetic needle minders help you keep track of your sewing needle by holding it in place while protecting your fabric from unnecessary holes or rust. We use neodymium rare earth magnets on our minders, which are much stronger than standard magnets and wont leave marks on your fabric. Each needle minder includes one magnetic enamel front piece and a second magnetic back piece. To use: Separate the two magnets and place the needle minder on top of your fabric. Then place the included backing magnet behind your fabric to hold the minder in place. Your needle will now stick to the front surface of the needle minder.
