Every paycheck my husband and I set aside a bit money for ourselves for hobby spending. It's an allowance that we can spend guilt-free on our hobbies, and neither of us criticize what the other spends it on. Usually I spend it on fabric, but this time I spent a chunk of it on new needles, a new foot for my model 27, and other boring stuff that lets me do quilting.
It's nice to have, but nowhere near as fun to shop for as fabric.
The last time I ordered 100 90/14 needles from ctsusa.com, I think the whole bill was something like $11.25. So I change needles as soon as they sound or act less than sharp. The Organ needles work every bit as well for me as Schmetz, but they are much, much more economical.
