Love your pin cushion/scrap catcher. You can never go wrong with black & white - what did you use to stuff the pin cushion as I can't get flax seed over here, looked on the internet for Emery Sand but can only get it from the USA.

Tisha,
I couldn't find flax seed, so I used Parakeet, Canary & Finch seed. It's the right weight, so I gave it a try. Does anyone know weather or not this was a good idea? My Mom thought I should use something else.

Thanks to gcathie,

She told me not to use bird seed because it attracts moths!! So please if you are making a pin cushion & can't find flax seed, don't use bird seed.:( How silly of me, I should have known that.

I learned something valuable today, thanks.

Okay everyone this is my tip for the pin cushions.....Don't use any food! can get moths or mice or mealy bugs.....just a thought from me.....I had the moths from a bag of unopened bird seed....my what a mess.....

I thought about it don't use rice either......

use: poly beads,sand,pebbles,glass rocks....ect...
