I LOVE pincushions! I make them, collect them,display them and use them! I found one in a drawer in my beloved Gram's 1924 Treadle that I am blessed to have. I found 3 in my d mil's hope chest after she passed that no one else wanted. I have had a few people give me some really cute ones, and then I have made several. I always use a pincushion, I even made myself a wrist pincushion and use it all the time. I have at least 1 beside each of my machines, and a couple on my cutting table and ironing board. LOVE THEM! giggle
