I thought that would come in real handy.

great idea.

That's really cute. I just watched a bit of the youtube video of the Pintastic and it's so dumb!!! lol

I would add piece of study cardboard or plastic inside the pin cushion on the machine side. Some of our grandmothers really did a number on their machines using something tied on the cross bar for a pin cushion. My machines may be vintage, but they don't need any more scratches than they get with normal use.

That being said, I do like this idea.

That's cool! Now I can get all those pins off my sewing table and floor! I'm making one tonight.

Good idea

That is a great idea!

Great idea!

I love that idea. So handy and I wouldn't lose it. LOL

cute idea

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!

What a great idea!

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:

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

Love it.

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!

I have one of these on all my machines , I can just pop them in as I sew and it's alway's in the same place lol, so i can't miss. Well most of the time, they still seem to like the floor best but I just pick them up with my magnet on a stick, my hips do not like me going on the floor and won't let me up again. :)

That is awesome idea...i want one :-(

great idea. thanks for sharing

Thanks for the great tip!

I like this idea, but worry that the pins might scratch through to the machine if there was not a plastic insert to stop it. I first saw the idea on the Martha Stewart show and she had a pattern for one.

Thanks I have been trying to figure out a place to put a pin cushion on my machine.

I've seen similar pin cushions on old estate sale commercial machines and always thought they were a little disgusting looking, but this one is so pretty! NOW I get it!

Great idea. Thanks for pointing this out. She is selling these in her Etsy shop for $5 which seems reasonable enough. I recognize this is easy to make, but I don't know when I would get to it and for $5, I'm happy to support her. I don't think there are any left on her site, but I imagine if someone wants one and emails her, she would whip up another one. Thanks again for pointing this out.

Printed it out and plan on making it today. Thanks

this is a convenient location for a pincushion. thanks for sharing

great idea looks fabo!!!!!

What a great idea - going to make one now. Thanks for sharing.

I have a zillion pincushions but usually toss the pins in a terra cotta saucer then transfer them back to the pincushion later. I'll have to try this one.

Now this is an idea worth looking at..

Please be careful with the magnetic strip if you have a computerized machine.
I have a another sewing machine and I was thinking putting it on this one with double sided velcro.

That is really a great idea. Just might have to try it

Thanks for the info. I think I'll make one for mine. Looks handy :thumbup:

wow great idea...thanks for sharing this...

that is very practical. useful but not taking up room on your work table. would go to a class very easily

This is a wonderful idea. Think I'll make me one and try it out. I love my magnetic one, but find myself fumbling around trying to hit it. This looks like it might be really handy. Thanks for sharing the idea.
