A device and method for maintaining a curved sewing needle in an upright position when the needle is deposited thereon during suturing or sewing. The device features a base with a top surface on which a curved needle may be removably deposited. Once deposited upon the top surface of the base, a magnetic field of sufficient force and vector holds the needle to a substantially vertical position wherein it is easier to grasp by a tool or fingers for the next suture. Coaxing the needle to the upright position from a sideways deposit on the top surface can be provided by a sufficient field strength and assisted by dimensioning the top surface of the base to mechanically assist the magnetic force on the deposited needle and also by employing a magnetized needle.
