All but the very old computerized machines have a magnetic shield. There is no worry with a magnet pin cushion being around the machine.
My tech told me to not allow magnetic stuff around my machine, because all magnets have different strengths and the 'shields' can't hold back the stronger magnets. Because he is certified in Janome, Elna, and Berninas, I choose to follow his advice. Everyone needs to use their own judgement.
