I haven’t taken it to a repair shop yet as I’m scared the whole computer section is screwed up. A few months ago, I thought, ” This is ridiculous, I need to learn how to do this and actually use it!” I found that the machine will not read the card…it acts like there is no card in there. Like I do on many of my new gadgets I had to have…I didn’t use it for a long time. I purchased a Singer embroidery machine a few years ago that takes cards to get patterns from (a computerized embroidery machine). I could be completely off base on this and hope I am. “Hi Linda, just a thought on this magnetic pin holder. ***Update: My friend, Mason, had an important thought about these magnetic pin holders. They want to go right out and get one, even though they don’t sew! You wrap it around your wrist and then secure it with the velcro strap it comes with.Īnd your hands are free to pin garments, pin fabric, pin quilts, pin whatever.Īnd you can use it while working with customers and you can use it while sewing at your machine. Here is an updated version from Michael’s craft store. I noticed this brilliant invention at JoAnn Fabrics. Or, sometimes, my customer would hold the pin cushion while I pinned.Ībout the time I began pondering my little dilemma, That meant bending over to get my pins, one by one. To do that meant that I had to put the pin holder down on a table or on the floor while I worked. Since I alter clothes for other people, I need both hands free to pinch and pin the garments that folks try on. I’ve been tempted to keep dropping boxloads just to watch this thing in action! When you drop your box of pins on the floor, you just wave this pin cushion over the pins and it picks up every last one of them in seconds. I had heard about magnetic pin holders, so I determined to go and look for one. That worked great except for the times I dropped the box all over the floor.Īnd picking them up wasn’t so bad, except that it became a regular habit…. I figured they’d be easier to grab than pulling them one by one out of the tomato. So, I kept my pins in the box they came in. Then, I realized, that I needed to have more pins on hand than what the tomato would hold. That way, I can see the eye of each needle at a glance and grab the one I need.īut, for years, I used the tomato to hold my pins.Īnd when that’s all you know, you’re fine with it. I still use one for my needles as you can see. I had used the old stuffed “tomato” pin cushion during my youthful sewing years. It took me years to realize how great magnetic pin cushions are.
