I stopped worring about this when I discovered topstitch needles! If it sews I use it .....
Another idea is to coordinate a drop of nail polish with certain sizes and put a drop on the top of the shank just below the screw that holds it in the machine....

I use a Post it Note on my Bernina 640. It's my multi purpose machine and the needles get changed for different projects before they are worn out. That way I know if the one in machine is what I need for specific project and if not then I know which case to put it back into.

I have made 2 "mini quilts" 6 inches square...I even bound them but you wouldn't need to. They are quilted through the middles in each direction and then corner to corner both ways which divides them into 8 sections. I labeled them. One is for my more basic needles, and the other for the specialty needles. And as someone else does, I use a colored pin in the section of the needle I have in my machine. Lots of great ideas here!

I did order some Titanium needles, so I'll see how long they last, before I break it doing something stupid..
Looked into your Etsy site..Love those bow tucks..Good job!
