    Those look great. I can think of many times this past year when I would have used them all. Thanks for the info.

    Maybe I'm not thinking hard enough, but, why? What would be wrong with a metal tip?

    you can also get a 12 inch long magnet to hold scissors/seam ripper etc and it can be attached to the wall! Also check out the magnetic wrist band that is used for nails, its' great for pins too!

    DH got me a set at Home Depot. The store guy couldn't believe that I work on old sewing machines - he wondered why. DH advised him not to ask me because he'd more than he ever wanted to know. Probably too true.
