Is this too big for a pin cushion for a quilting room?

It just looks so cool

only if it gets in the way ;-)

I guess it depends on the amount of room you have. It is very cute, but not too practical. I'd be afraid it would tip over if you tried to use it. I think it would be more for decoration. Again, very cute!

It DOES look cool. Just nail/screw/glue it to something heavy if it's rickety. All kinds of notions, jewelry, knick-knacks could be displayed, as well.

i was thinking that it would tip over to easily.

I know, it does looks tippy. I talked myself out of it 6 months ago.

It also looks at about greyhound tail level- do not need any "Happy Tails" - but it really is cool - yet I could buy some great fabric for what I would save from not buying it.

Thank you, think I just talked myself out of it again.

You could make one yourself! What a great project!

If you like it and you can spare the money, go for it. It's very cute and would look great in a sewing room.

cute cute

That's just too cute.

I have a pattern to make one of those, but it's not called a pin cushion. However a few years ago JoannFabrics sold pin cushion ones like that.

very cute!

Yep, I bought one, and I use it all the time. I make a copy of the cutting instructions or whatever I like to have with in view, and I pin it to the form. It is tall enough to hold it right there where I can see it.

That's a bit of a challenge for me considering my limited space. I like oldswimmers' suggestion for using it to pin up instructions if needed. At this time I can not justify this expense and will have to depend on my magnetic pin catcher that also works as a paper-weight for holding my patterns.

I wouldn't want it. It would be tipping over on me and I am not very patient... When I want a pin I don't want to have to pick the pin stand up every time.

I think it is darling! I have a pattern for making one and some day I hope to get around to it, if you can afford it I say go for it, would look cute in any sewing room! :-)

It does look cool. Not sure it would be very functional though. But that doesn't really matter, if you like it. LOL!
