Love the pincushions but only have one that I stick needles in. I have a few magnetic bowls and things to keep them contained to the sewing table but if I knock them off I have another magnetic stick that sweeps them all up. After getting a needle under my kneecap years ago (yes it's possible and yes it takes painful surgery to remove it) I am very careful about keeping my floor clean. I hate carpet in the sewing room but that's what I have so make the best of it.
