My design wall doesn't need pins except when I'm pinning rows together. I used to have a wrist pincushion and found it very useful. Plastic band - felt cushion. I recently purchased a magnetic one. I should have known better. My body has a very strong electromagnetic field and I kept demagnetizing the magnet so the removable part and the pins went flying several times before I gave up. I can't wear a watch, either. I think the funniest thing is the paper towel holders that are motion operated. If I get near one, either it stops working or it spits out towels continuously when I'm 6 feet away.
