Using your della Q Standing Needle Case is a breeze. First, unzip the case, and it will unfold and stand on its own on a flat surface. You can put your needles in the removable needle slot pocket, and small notions in the mesh see - through pocket. You can also store scissors, your phone, makeup, or desk supplies inside. When not in use, just zip it up and store it away. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent any damage to the linen material. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Remember, the new Linen Collection in this wine color will take about four weeks to ship, so be patient and look forward to using this great organizer.
