Two posts in a day - am I ill
No but my shoulders ache so I am taking a break. I was pointed in the direction of this blog post. It has a great picture of what happens to a sewing machine needle after a few hours of sewing. Take a look, this is why I press students into changing their needles, I am really not on commission from any of the needle companies :)

Thank you for sharing the link, how interesting! I guess I better go change my needle now huh? ;)
Needles do need to be changed but a use for after their life of sewing is break off the point end. Use the thick end as a picture hanger. Pound the broken end into the wall and the heavy end of the needle will hold up to 20lbs of picture frame. When you need to pull it out it is a small hole. Try it. chris
This is why I'm now on titanium needles and loving it. They so last so much longer.
Wow... how interesting. I'm sure that's what mine must look like!
OK, time to change the needle!
