Default Zirkel Pin Cushion

Just purchased a new pin "cushion" which is really a magnetic square and it is great!
You drop the pins on it and they all fall pointy end in, so you don't stick yourself when you go to grab one.
Now, I need another for my cutting table.
They are made by Zirkel
A bit spendy, but cool.
You can find videos on Youtube.

I bought one also and love it! I feel it's worth the cost.

Thanks for the reminder about these. They are in my cart with an extra one for a gift.

Thanks again!

The price isn't too bad but it does say highly magnetic and keep it away from electronics.

Thanks Tartan. I just ordered two from Amazon and didn't see that warning. I will remember to keep them away from my machines.
I wonder what would be the safe distance?

I love the Zirkels. I have four of them. I like the red colored ones. My grands like to play with them with my pins making 3 D art. LOL
