On the bed of my sewing machine, next to the foot/needle area, I taped a magnetic business card upside down (magnet side facing up) to catch pins as I remove them when I sew. Then they don't go rolling around and falling on the floor as often.
When I machine quilt, I take it off and just tape it back when I'm done.

For what it's worth:
I asked my dealer about the magnet hurting the computer in my Sapphire Husquavarna machine. She said the electronics are embedded so deeply in the machine that it doesn't affect it.
Will this harm the computerized machines?
