Best pin keeper I have found.
 

I love this thing. It's a Zirkel magnetic pin keeper. No matter how you drop the pins the heads of the pins go to the outside. Of course I had to buy the pretty pins to go with it. I went to a local quilt show and the vendor had four of them left, an hour after she set up and she bought a dozen of them to the show. I got the last package of the pretty pins.

very cool!

Wow - Neat idea!

I saw them at the last show I went to also. But I already have 3 different size magnetic bowls and couple of the magnetic pin keepers.

Wow! Not cheap on Amazon. Think I'll put that on Christmas list

I think this is cool - how do the pins go like that?

I've seen this and tried it....don't own one, though. It's pretty neat. Love how strong the magnet is. I have a nice magnet pin holder....came from an auto store. Works great.

That magnet is very strong....very.......

Does any one know if he magnet is strong enough to affect the electronics in the new sewing machines! I was warned when I got the magnets to use for seam guides to be careful where I placed them

that's great...my magnetic pin catcher draws most onto their heads and I am always getting poked.

I bought it from a Bernina dealer. She had one next to each Bernina model set up for demos.

The pins are sharp, much more then I thought they would be since they are pretty. I think my young grand will be fascinated by this while in my sewing room with me. :)

I bought one during a Shop Hop..I love it! Mine was BLACK, not the pretty red color.

*** I use the magnetic bowls - they do not tip over and stick to the ironing board.

All she had was red. I think red is Bernina trademark color so that's why she had all red.

It is heavy, won't fall off the table without a fight.

I have other magnetic pin cushions besides my machine and no problem. i never touch the machine with them. now this one is something i may have to buy. i have trouble picking up pins and having the heads where i can get them is perfect!!
just got a red one from Sew It Up.

Those are such pretty pins. It would be a waste of money for me to buy one since I too have three of the magnetic bowls.

I've given up on magnetic pin holders! I bought one and kept it on my sewing table next to my machine with my little scissors right there. Well, my scissors became magnetic and ever time I picked them up a whole bunch of pins stuck to it. Gave the magnetic bowl and all the pins to a friend who wanted them. Got new pins and have them in a plastic box. No more magnetic anything for me!!

You have a red one! Mine is black but I love not sticking myself any more!

Yep that happened to me before. I demagnetized them. I put the scissors in my Sonic toothbrush charger base while plugged in, took them out and no more magnetic scissors. This will work for small tools.

Looks neat! I need to find one of these~ :)

I have mag pin holders...this one looks cool. May have to find and add to collection........I don't put my trimming small scissors on the mag. I have these tied to a ribbon loop and that hangs from cord of machine...so when I need I just reach down and pull up on ribbon....this way they never fall to the floor

Maybe someone else knows the answer, but I never keep my magnetic pin holder near my machine.
Too expensive a mistake to make!

I was told by dealers that the machines now have the computer parts shielded from damage from magnetic or other waves. I wouldn't hold a strong magnet to the body of my machine but having a pin holder next to it I have no fear.

I had a magnetic pin holder for my wrist. It stopped my watch and I thought I had a ton of time to quilt! LOL

This is so neat. I have a magnetic bowl but the pins go every which way and I still get pricked.

I was warned of this as well. But it sure is a cool pin cushion and pins.

According to my Bernina dealer you don't have to worry about magnets around a Bernina machine.
