That is the same way I do mine. Drives me nuts to have to open up each one.

Now that is one boring thing I know I won't do. :lol:

mostly in a pin cushion beside my machines. but have a magnetic pin cushion in other places not close to my machines. Kids are not home now so I don't worry.

I store mine in the small jelly canning jars. Works for me.

I store mine in jars according to sizes. I use jars about baby food size.

I store mine open in a mason jar. When I am ready to pin, I toss them onto a dinner plate. By the time I get to the end of the pile, tangling is not an issue as I pull them from the edges and shake the plate every now and then to spread them out. It works for me.

Open in a plastic box with a hinged, snap lid.

That's what I do too, only I use an empty plastic mayo container for mine, think it's Karft mayo, nice size and it has a flip top lid.
