What do you use to fill a Pincushion?
Year ago I made one and filled it with rice. Don't like it very much. What do you use?

I've tried many and so far my favorite pincushion is wool.
I can leave my pins and needles in there and it won't rust and the lanolin probably helps keep them lubricated. |
My Mother used to fill them with saw dust.
For the better part I do not have pin cushions ... instead magnets. I did make a mini one recently and just put some poly batting into it. |
I just use fiberfill, but I saved a bunch of walnut shells to try next. Heard it helps to keep the pins sharp.
|
I would think walnut shells would make the pins dull but I've heard other say they like the shells.

I use the fine decorative sand but you have to double bag it or the fine sand grains will come through the fabric.
|
I use fiberfill and plastic pellets, used to weight dolls. The fiberfill is for the top and the pellets go into the bottom (in a small bag), to keep the pincushion from falling over.
