Geez, what a waste. This thing has no redeeming value. I use the container my pins come in, keep them to my right when pinning fabric. When sewing, the container is flush against my machine (to the right) and as I sew I put the pins right back in the container.
Plastic, batteries, noise - is there anything environmentally friendly with this device?
Did I mention the cost of tylenol to get rid of the headaches from the clicking of those darn pins rolling around in the cement mixer
$20-30 to further pollute our planet - I think not.
Besides, think of all the sale fabric you can buy at Fabric.com or Connecting Threads for that money
