If I am quilting a piece and am planning to bury the threads, I prefer to do them as I go.
The problem is that I often lose my needle amongst everything else on my machine.
I finally found a solution to the problem with the purchase of a roll of magnet tape….
I am sure that you know what I am talking about….the tape is sticky on one side but has a lightweight magnet on the other.
I cut a 1-inch square of tape and applied it to the top of my sit-down longarm and placed my needle there…..
It is out of the way…..
….but easily accessible when I want to use it!!
If you are interested in the loop needle that I am using, you can read about it here…..
Don’t you love it when you find an EASY solution to a persistent problem!!
