What is a manicure sponge? I haven't had many and dont remember them. Is it good for your pins? Does it sharpen them?
I have 7 pinchusions and should have at least 2 more. I have three different types of pins. I like to keep two pinchusions for each type of pin so one can be near my machine and one at my cutting-ironing area. The odd ball is in my sew kit I take everywhere. 2 of the pincushions I made are made from wool-felt. It keeps the pins sharp.
