Stick To It

Some projects require changing needles in the middle of the project. I keep track of the original needle on a piece of masking tape that I have wrapped in a circle, sticky side out, and affixed to the top of my sewing machine. If I get distracted, this is a reminder that I am using a temporary needle.
