pin cushion material
We lost our home in the spring tornado in OKC and my sewing room was destroyed. I am beginning to collect the notions, cabinets and sewing machine so far. Some time ago I found on line a source for metal filings to use on the inside of pin cushions. This really worked! The order came with a small amount of filings and a small piece of fabric (somewhat like swim suit fabric) that would contain the filings. This fabric was for the inner cushion, then I made a decorative cover. I have searched on Google and cannot find it again. I must have found the original source on a sewing board. I don't like a pin cushion that won't stay in place and this one had enough weight to stay on the table and the filings sharpened the pins. I would appreciate any feedback of the metal filings or something new to me that would work. Thanks. Frankie
