A photo of my 4 favourite needle minders. The fox is current favourite for small to mid size hand held projects, because it is light and has a low profile. The teapot is also good for these projects and is currently the oldest of my needle minders (over 20 years old). The thistle is too heavy to use unless the project is on a frame but it also does a great job holding the pattern.

I used a great little needle minder called 'Needle Park Avenue' they are plastic. They have a strip to hold the needle and along the top an area to write your symbols - which you wash off when you are finished and re-use them.On the back they have a metal strip and a back plate with magnets which you place on the underside of the fabric to hold the needle minder in place. I brought them at Coleshill Accessories.
