Using the della Q Standing Needle Case is a breeze. First, just unzip it, and it will stand up on its own on a flat surface. You can put your needles in the removable needle slot pocket, and use the mesh see - through notion pocket for small items. You can also store scissors, your phone, make - up, or desk supplies inside. When not in use, simply zip it up. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid tears. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Remember, the new Linen Collection colors will take about four weeks to arrive, so be patient!
