Guide Review - Review - Pako Needle Organizer

The Pako Needle Organizer is a perfect fit for stitchers who like to thread a needle with each color of floss before starting a project. The organizer is plastic with a foam insert that holds the needles. The product is simple and easy to use.

Begin by labeling the code card with the symbols for each color of floss. Then thread your needles and insert them. You may want to invest in a Pako Deluxe Needle Threader to speed up this process.

The base of the Pako Needle Organizer is tilted so that the face is at a 45-degree angle. This makes the organizer easy to see and the codes legible even when it is sitting on a side table beside your stitching chair.

The organizer is light-weight, so it offers the portability many stitchers desire.

The only complaint I have about this product is that the code card slips out of position too easily. I think, however, that I can rectify this with a couple of pieces of tape.
