I've heard never to have magnetic pin holders around computerized sewing machines, but I've had magnetic pin holders (I think mine is called a "Grabbit") for as long as I've had my computerized Pfaff (a Pfaff Creative 1471 for over 25 years) with absolutely no problems. Now, I'm not saying that everyone should do this, but my personal experience with magnetic pin holders has been that they aren't a problem as long as you use some common sense about keeping them a few inches away from the motherboard area of the machine.
