    I agree with ALL the comments about it being big, bulk, and a space
    hog.

    If it wasn't $4 I would never have bought it. Who knows maybe someday
    I MIGHT think about using it but I doubt it.

    LOL

    The small straight pins with tiny heads work perfectly in one. If you have ever made one of the folded ball ornaments then this little machine will be worth it's weigh by having one pin ready to take each time.

    I have 4 machines I keep set up for use one is a computerized machine, I have 4 regular cushions and 1 magnetic holder, I move the cushions around all the time BUT make sure I keep the magnetic one away from computerize machine. I love all my pin cushions, one I have has for 25 yrs it looks like a hat, I love it more than the tomato shaped ones (2 of mine are tomatoes).

    A magnet in a pincushion won't hurt your machine. All machines except the very old ones, have a shield protecting the computer electronics.
