Did you have one or use one that jammed? My dressmaker friend uses her two practically non stop and I was there and neither one of them jammed at all. She uses only Iris super fine pins so the pins may make a difference. It seems to be more useful for sewers then quilters.

This would be something I could use.. (makes note on Christmas list)... I am always poking my fingers when trying to grab a pin. I don't use the pin cushion I made...it sucks.
Do you have favorite gadgets you like to use?

I use the large pins with the flat flower heads and just keep them in a metal box. If I use smaller pins I keep them in the pin cushion that's attached to my scrap bag. I love gadgets but this one doesn't interest me. I do have one of the acrylic knobs that acts as a screwdriver to get the screws out to clean my machine. Love that.

If it really worked, I MIGHT be a sucker and buy it....the thing that got me looking at the demo was that the pins were all the same size. I have so many different kinds of pins with different size heads.....glass, plastic and metal and flat. I'd probably have to spend several days sorting out my pins before I was able to use it.
I can see where it might be useful for a dressmaker pinning a hem while the costomer stood on a platform: the dressmaker wouldn't have to look down to grab the pin.
Even though I LOVE gadgets, I will let this one pass!
