What do you do with your broken needles and pins?
Submitted by Beverly Charry
I use a plastic container that "Nestle" powdered creamer (Coffee Mate) comes in. It is made of rigid plastic that needles don't poke through and it has a small flip top lid that snaps shut securely to make it a safe place to place discarded sharps.
I place raw rice or a few small rocks in the container to stabilize it beside my machines. It is also secure for travel.
