Better face it. If you sew at all, no matter what contraption you have, a pin or needle will find its way onto the floor. It is the nature of the beast. ;)

You're right about the floor! I was really hoping to keep them off the table. I pull the pins out so fast and drop them on the table as I go then when I finish the seam, my elbows rest on top of the pins that are on the table :lol: , then off to the floor they go!

That is exactly what I need, thank you so much for the site.

Well I was going to show you all the one I just made...
Sigh ,the batteries in my camera are dead. :roll: :roll:

Agreed. I have gotten into a habit of telling people (other than my family) to watch where they step when they come into my room because of pins ending up on the floor. Even when I have attempted to clean up the pins somehow my brother or mom or somebody else manages to find one...with their feet. I've given up on trying to locate every single pin because I know its impossible! lol

i second irish rose suggestion--i will be making one of these--i think a plastic insert[?template plastic]on the inside wouldb be the best

Thanks, what a great idea. Bookmarked it. :thumbup:

I think I will try it with a piece of magnetic stip that has adhesive on it!
