Mary does the magnet help with arthritis etc. like a magnet bra let which I wore until the elastic broke, I used it for picking pins up off the floor and as you are only problem was pins stuck in me yours much better.

Here's what I use, you can get them at Harbor freight, or any auto and hardware store. $3 bucks is what I paid for mine. I don't arrange the pins like this, they do it all on their own. I love it!

i used velcro to attach my leaders to the poles. my fabric store carried the sticky backed heavy duty kind to just stick it to the poles. and i just sewed the quilt to the leaders with a large stitch so a good tug separated it when done.

I used to make ring cushions using the plastic pull rings from orange juice cartons. I called them Knucklepinnies and I sent them to several quilters in the old quilt.com bulletin board community. Seems as though those things are smaller now, though, so they don't work. I should make them from elastic - looks as though you did, Knismith. They were handy.

I use red snappers. I am so glad not to be using pins any more.

I have a magnetic wrist pincushion I use, and another magnetic one which sits on a nearby surface. I suggest you buy some Leadergrips, as I did. They are great and I have no regrets at all. But before I bought my Leadergrips, I pinned using flat head flower pins so the point of one pin was covered by the head of the next. You rarely get stuck that way.
