    thank you.....Schmetz is my all time fave!

    remember the singer with the COLORED band?
    get some cheap $1.00 nail polish and paint the shaft! USe a clear coat too

    OR use a different color sharpie and once dry, put clear tape over it...but this way you can only do a tiny band below the shaft(like the singers) so it will fit properly!

    Here's what I do; when I take a needle out of the package I mark it with a colored sharpie and then I also mark the flat side of the needle. When I take the needle back out of the machine; I know where it goes and this also shows that it has been used to some degree too. If I think it's too bad to use again I throw it away.
