I've been using the same one for a few weeks now and just noticed it was turning black. I tried to clean it but that did nothing. Is this something that happens with cheap needles? Is there a particular brand I should get?

Ok so after replying I decided to go look at my sewing kit and the tomato pin cushion DOES have a little strawberry on it! I had thought that was just a little pom-pom to make the pin cushion look festive but now I realize it's full of little beads like you described! I guess you learn something new every day! I've been sewing since I was in highschool in the 90s and never realized the little strawberry had a special purpose lol
