Gosh I'm so sorry that has happened to you. Those things happen to me all the time and I don't have any excuse, so don't you feel bad at all. I just got a good magnet bowl from Harbor Freight and put my quilting pins in them. Now, just need to get another bowl to put my sewing pins in because I just found out the hard way (pins everywhere on the floor-yup-me too!) the the magnet container that I had them in isn't working well. I was on my hands and knees for a while because I have small grandkids in my sewing room all the time and little yorkies and I didn't want them to get hurt. :lol: :lol: :lol:
