My DMIL made a Slice of Cake pincushion for me a couple of years ago.
It is by far the one I love and use the most!
I do have a thread-catcher cushion as well.. but it usually just hangs on the side of my sewing table for threads.
I don't really recall ever using the pincushion part.
Also, I use a small "Tomato" type cushion for needles only.
It hangs from my pegboard at my sewing table... it is easy to reach.
