Love this Quilting Board. Just like sitting around talking with a group of friends.
Which reminds me, magnetic auto parts dishes are great for corralling pins, needles, feet and anything else metal. wayyyyyy cheaper than those pretty little magnetic pin holders....
I use one of the business-sized or larger advertising magnets that are sent through the mail or glued to the front of my new phone directory. I stick one to my metal machine and put pins on it as I sew. Then, when I go back to pinning again, I peel it off gently from the machine and take it to my chair to use the pins again. If you have several of these you can rotate back and forth between chair and machine.
