I love to make pin cushions they are a great project that you can use or share with others the one thing that I have noticed through out making the pin cushions is it is really important to get them well stuffed so that they are firm. Years ago I sat in on a class about making teddy bears and the instructor spent a lot of time talking about how to stuff your bear project and the importance of making sure that the filling is stable and does not shift around. We are not making beanie babies. By taking time and working your filling in you will have a superior end product that will be used and enjoyed.
