Has anyone here that uses a magnetic pin cushion or parts bowl had any problems with their computerized sewing machine because of the magnets?
When I bought my new Bernina machine a few years ago, it came with a magnetized stylus to change the stitch selections. So, I figure if they sold me a magnet to sit on the front of the machine case, it can't be doing any harm. I also have 3 magnetized pin cushions and have never had an issue with them.
