I'll second that! I WANTED to be a multi needler, I thought I'd be all clever and make it work.. and then I got to 25ish colors in a block and basically said bump that! On the plus side, single-needlers get really really good at threading needles quickly!

so true! Im kinda a mix. I park needles off, and yes its because of tangles. but I have about 100 or so threaded needles on my needle organisor at the moment. Im not sure how I would do a BAP without my needle organisors.

What needle organizer do you use? I have been playing with several ideas for a homemade organizer but have yet to settle on a method so I would love to see one in Acton for such a large project.

the pako one, it hold 50 colors so I use 2 for a HAED.
here it is in action


when I need a new color, I glance at this to see if I have a needle threaded with it already, if not I go to the bobbin box. when I end a color i the length is still usable it goes to the needle organisor.
