The magnetic Needle Minder acts as a little home for your needle, when it's not in use. Because the Needle Minder is secured to your fabric with a magnet, your metal needle will 'stick' to it, until you're ready to pick your needle up again. This means it doesn't get lost, phew!

So whenever you need to put your needle down, such as to grab some new floss, refer to your pattern, take a break, you just pop your needle onto the face of the Needle Minder (you'll feel it pop into place).  Then you can rest assured your needle won't go missing- it will be safely waiting for you, right where you put it. Ah, the relief!
