Macaron Magnetic Needle Sharpener

This little gadget does a good job of sharpening needles. I've been using it for my sashiko needles and can definitely notice a big difference pre- and post-sharpening. It's also magnetic, so it's a useful place to put your needle when you're not actively using it. It's also quite cute and takes up very little space-- I just toss it in my bag. All around, great thing to have on hand!

This fits nicely in my travel stitching box and is a great needle minder since I prefer not to have one attached to my work. The needle sharpening element is a great bonus!

Super alternative to the traditional needle minder, especially when working outside the hoop. Plus, it's adorable.

I love this tool. Not only is it a cute macaron but it helps with not losing your needle with the magnet! I also love how well it sharpens your needles!

This not only holds otherwise stray needles, it sharpens them quickly. It's so useful for keeping needles in one place - I use it instead of a needle minder, and it makes me smile every time I see it on my coffee table. For a small plastic thingamabob, this is a heavy lifter in terms of usefulness. Highly recommend !
