Grabbit Magnetic Sewing Pincushion with 50 Plastic Head Pins, Black

Ive had one for years thought they had quite making them. I was happy to find it again bought one for my daughter.

I got the red and the color is as shown. The magnetic base works like described...I eve threw pins clos to it and the magnet grabedd it. I may order more in the future

Thank you amazon. looked everywhere. just what was needed for this sewing momma

I love the way that the pin holder grabs the pins and places them all in the same direction, also if a pin drops on the floor you can just wave it around the floor and it will pick up the pin

Its still magnetized, but day before yesterdy (and its less than a week old), it got knocked off the ironing board, and when I picked it up, it had a big chunk broken not-quite-out of the rim of the plastic housing. Now, I realize that the magnet still mags -- not a single pin dropped off when it fell -- or if they did, they fell into space as it hit the floor, and immediately bounced back up onto the upside-down surface of the blue plastice. I also realize that not all plastics are made equal and some may cost a bit more to house the magnet in than others, but could Blue Feather not have specified to the factory to use one that was not expected to break when it hit linoleum over concrete when dropped from the height of an ironing board? After all, many of us have playful cats. Playful kids. Some of us even have periodic playful earthquakes (we know who we are.) Things do fall off ironing boards. This is within the Prime period for sending it back, but Im not sure its ethical to ask to send it back, damaged, so Im keeping it. As I say -- the magnet still mags. But I implore you, Blue Feather -- have a talk with your manufacturer and see if you can come up with a more durable plastic. If I find out you have, Ill buy the improved model. And write a new review.

Pins and I have a love/hate relationship. I get so caught up in my sewing that I can lose track of where I put pins as I pull them out, they can end up on the floor, under my machine, or get hidden by fabric that I sweep away on my cutting mat, only to feel that sharp pain...well, you know what I mean. This is so great!! I dont have to be precise with a usual pincushion, etc., now. The truth is that you can almost toss them in the general direction of this Grabbit and theyre sucked onto it! They line up in a nice way, as well, so that you can go for a pin without worrying about sticking yourself, as happens in a pin box, etc. Id happily gift this to any sewer I know!!

I have a lot of different pin cushions and holders, depending on what type of project I’m working on. I got this magnetic one to use by my sewing machine, so when I’m concentrating on my stitching I don’t even have to look over because this one “grabs” the pins. It helps keep my workspace tidy! It’s heavy enough to double as a pattern weight on my cutting table as well. The magnet is strong enough to hold the pins, but not so much you’re fighting to get them off. Great tool!

I own several. Works great, easy to grab pins. Not sure why they include the big pins. (Maybe it looks better in a picture)

Love love love this! Holds a ton of pins, has a strong magnet, grabs them easily. I bought this for my 7 year old learning to sew, and it’s perfect. Both my boys just want to lay the pins down when done with them, they don’t want to be bothered sticking them into a pin cushion. This makes it easy for them and means I don’t have to pick up after them or find them all over the table & floors. We even throw it into a sewing box when not sewing and they stay put.

Highly recommend.
