Calla, the silicone is the kind you dry flowers in. Several yrs back, I was in a pincushion swap and the fillings came up, and a lady online said use the silicone...it has a little weight to it, and it keeps the pins from rust. Also, there's not the problem of anyone being allergic to it. I usually make a little bag to fit the pincushion, tie it off real good, then put the poly fill around it. The poly gives it a 'soft' feel, but yet the pins are protected from rust... I've made quite a few pincushions using this method and so far, no problems with the pins... ;o) Hope that explains it for you...
