Mindless Pursuits--Thank you. That makes sense.

Re: How Often Should You Change Your Needle?

What a wonderful web site! I check every day to see what new things I can learn. Thank you for making all this delicious information available.

Now here are some silly questions from a novice (but "green") needler: what does one do with old needles? Can they be resharpened? Should they be dicarded? Can they be tossed in recycling bins that take metal? That's one reason I don't do it more often. I don't know what to do with them!

Also, does changing embroidery needles apply to those of us who do hand embroidery?
