I have magnetic ones from the fabric store, and a metal bowl and a few made ones. One is a pincushion on a doll leg. It is a porcelain leg with the pincushion on the top, it is cute, that is something to do with a doll part.lol In high school we used the wrist pincushion and I ran across it the other day in some sewing stuff, it was antique looking! Took me a long time to learn how to use a magnetic one, kept poking my wrist with pins.
