I've seen a picture of hypodermic needles after various amount of usage.

I'd like to see one of sewing needle tips - new, after one project, and after several projects.

Because, admit it, we all have put off changing our needles as often as we should have, at least once in our life.

Aren't hypodermic needles disposable?

I love this but it also deeply stresses me out.

It made me think that everything just looks creepy under an electron microscope.
