Welcome to the Quilting Board!
GiGi was so right to warn you about the digital machines. So sorry. Didn't think of you ladies with machines with tails. I am a treadler. No electronics here - alright - I do have a 401A (great machine) but only use her when I am simply not up to treadling - which is not often. Another plus is when the bowl tips over (I am so clumsy) all the pins stay together. I also use it to magnetize the tip of my scissors.
OMG I didn't know that, thanks!Originally Posted by GiGi

They are great but be careful with these bowls around your computer machines....I destroyed my Kindle Fire by putting it too close to my magnetic pin bowl. I removed the bowl from my sewing room.
The bowl was one of my treasured fines at HF, then the blades are a blessing. Also bought a magnetic extender pointer that I can pick up pins with( or anything metal) with out bending over so much,
Freedom is costly and quilting keeps us busy...
My hubby came home with a bunch of these for me a few years ago. I have several by my machines, one on my desk for paper clips and so on. I gave them as little Christmas gifts with a couple of FQ to my sewing pals. They love them. Great invention!!!!
Love H F. I buy blades there, but have also purchased a nice square . Bought a tool bag with wheels for when I want to take my big machine to a class. There seem to be many uses for "men" things in the quilting world.
I have 3 of these (1 even has a handle).
1 for each machine.
They work great.

Forgot to mention that HB is having a Black Friday sale

What a great price--I paid a lot more from my quilt/Viking store.I absolutely love these magnetic bowls.I keep straight pins in one and safety pins in another, etc. When pins fall I just sweep the floor with a bowl. Voila! All picked up. They are on sale now for $3.00. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-...tm_source=1010
I love my magnetic bowls, especially when I am un-pinning. I just toss the pins or the safety pins at the bowl. Very rarely does a pin not make it to the bowl. And I am especially careful to keep my electronics away from the bowls.
