I don't have to worry about dropped pins. My DH finds all of them by walking around in my sewing room in his stocking feet. I wear slippers so I don't have to worry. He is beginning to think that I drop the pins on purpose. I also solved the rotary cutter problem by using dull blades!!!

Those are excellent tips, especially the one about needles. I once stepped on a needle that had fallen onto the scatter rug beside my bed (my sewing machine was also in my bedroom) when I was getting into bed. I had to call my DH to pull it out as I did a really good job on it. I wish my sewing area had something other than carpeting, however, the entire apt. is carpeted, so that won't work. I will sometimes empty my magnetic pin cushion and run it around on the rug to pick up some of the wayward pins and needles.

My nephew is good at finding pins with his feet, too.
Several members of my family (me included) have an inherited progressive neuropathy. When he finds a pin for me, he yelps and then says, "But at least I felt it!" So far he's not showing any signs of it, thank God.

If you are wearing slippers in your sewing room and your feet get hot and you slip them off, don't leave them under the sewing machine. My toe started hurting last night and I couldn't figure out why. This morning I found a straight pin inside my slipper with the pointy end right where my sore toe would have been. As my mother told me many times , "No sense, no feeling!" :-)
