I have been admiring the pincushions board members have been making, and have a few questions:
What is your favorite material for filling them? I've seen suggestions of nut shells and poly-fil. Anything else work?
Do you do anything to the bottoms to weight them down or prevent pins and needles from going all the way through?
Would it work to somehow put a magnet in a pincushion to use for picking up pins? (I say this as I look at a magnetized paperclip holder and wondering if it could somehow be incorporated into a pincushion.)
What is your favorite type or pattern to make?
Could you post some pictures here to share what you've made?
Do you have any hints or warnings or things you have tried and just didn't work?
Thanks for any response you post.
