I can see where it would be a great time saver for fabric shops that pin the ticket to the fabric. The employee is always looking for the pin container and when have you ever have worked in a group making quilt and not have the pin container spill all over? I think it will have a place and be indispensable. LOL.
I know without a doubt I'll get one for Christmas when one of my DDs ask what's new at any quilt shop. They love finding me new sewing gadgets!
