I keep a bunch of pins stuck in my design wall around the edges so they are there for the taking when I want to pin something to my design wall.

I also have a homemade wrist pin cushion that I sometimes use but I find if I'm not careful the pins get caught on things.

like rob, i have pins stuck into design "wall" felt. there when i need them. i also made wrist pin cushions for my two grandtreasures and myself to use when we are creating with machine & needles & thread. maybe i'll get brave and try posting a pic here. they are very cute, pretty with soft bands of elastic encased in minky

my wrist pincushion is for corsage pins used on the long arm and I immediately take it off (if I even have it on and not just sitting next to me) cause it catchs on things and gets in the way. No help.

I've never had a wrist pincushion but I do have one that fits on my finger. I got it years ago in Paducah and still love using it.

Good morning.

Thanks for all your suggestions and reviews of the different types of wrist pincushions (and whether they are useful or just get in the way). Maybe next time I'm in Harbor Freight I'll check out theirs. I never would have thought to look there for an equivalent. That may be the cheapest entry trial run.

Thanks, all.

My favorite is actually one that hangs around my neck. A great conversation starter when you forget and wear it out in public. LOL

I have one that I used years ago, when mainly making my own clothes. My wrist has apparently gained weight, lol, because the bracelet part no longer fits. I loved it when I could use it, though.

Because I also am a dressmaker I have both types of wrist pincushion. the magnetic one I use when I am working on the fitting mannequin I use to make clothing. It is very handy. The other one (stick style) I use when I am doing hand work like hemming or sewing down a binding.

You could also sew a pocket to the design wall to hold the pin cushion. I wouldn't want pins on my arm when I only needed some at the design wall.
