Pinning something large, you would need to keep switching it on and off to get the pins up....filling it via the funnell looks like most of the pins will fall on the floor anyway ...and I can almost guarantee the time when you really need it the batteries will have died !
I wonder have they sold any ?.............sorry for being so horrid if you have one and would really like to know if you love it....but I'm going to stick with my box of pins and my pincushion!

I saw this in the Nancy's Notions catalog last month, and my first reaction was "What the.....!" Now I know that I'm not the only person who feels that way. And I am another who has just about every gadget known to mankind for sewing...but this isn't on my list!
