I love this but not sure where I could install it on my Babylock. The whole front is the LCD screen. Bummer...

Should really be handy. No more falling pin cushion.

Yes I made one for the end of my machine that I have enjoyed immensely. Of course mine is smaller, but it works just fine. I'm glad you put this on here for others to see!

You know I like your pin cushion more than mine. I just put a piece of velcro to the side of my machine and rolled batting up and placed on it for my pin cushion, but yours is pretty.

What is best for stuffing?

That being said, I do like this idea.

I've seen lots of vintage machines with fabric tied or pinned around the cross bar. Could never figure out why that was. Thanks for sharing this information.

My mom had one that went around the arm (upper horz part) of her feather weight.

Thanks for the memories. :o)
