Grabbit Magnetic Sewing Pincushion with 50 Plastic Head Pins, Black

I used the same magnetic pincushion since the 80s, that is until I knocked it off the table one too many times and broke it. I replaced it with two Grabbits, black and teal, so I could have one at my sewing machine and the other by my coverstitch. These are every bit as nice and heavy as my vintage one. Toss the pins to the Grabbit as you sew and they go right in, all lined up the same direction as they should. To prevent knocking them off my tables I bought two textured jar openers (from Amazon) to put underneath to keep them from sliding. Works great!

This is exactly what I was looking for! I am newer to seeing and I wanted something to hold my pins. This works perfectly! The base is magnetized enough to hold all 50 pins with no problems. I have not tried to use more than the pins provided. Very convenient.

This Grabbit Magnetic Pincushion with 50 Plastic Head Pins has a really nice design. It’s a hefty 6.6 ounces so it stays in place and the bright red color makes it easy to notice in a busy sewing area. The sharp pins stay in the depressed center of the holder and the design makes it easy to pick the pins up.

I’m super messy when I’m sewing. I always end up with pins everywhere. This works exactly like the video shows and it makes my life SO much easier. Get yourself one, save your sanity.

I adore this thing! Its kept me from stepping on stray pins. I have cats, curious, curious cats, who like to play with anything that Ive had my hands on... including sharp, pokey straight pins. The magnet in this discourages them from pulling a pin off and carrying it away; it also keeps the pins in place when the cat(s) knock the whole kitnkaboodle to the floor - which one has done, while staring at me, as if to say, Oh, you like this so much? See how fun it is to pick up... wait, they didnt scatter. The pins - they were supposed to scatter all over the floor! Curses! Foiled by Grabbit magnetic pin cushion! Ah, Grabbit magnetic pin cushion, how I adore thee. Plus, on those occasions when Ive dropped a pin and cant see/find it, Ive waved the pin cushion over the area and the magnet picks up the pin. Awesomeness. The only warning I have for other users: the pins are plastic-headed. Dont try to iron the heads. Really. They melt. Ask me how I know.

Nice weight. Good size. Works just like it supposed to. All good.

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

I wish I had bought one (or more) of these years ago. It really speeds up my sewing when I don’t have to put pins back in the pin cushion, just get them near this magnetic dish as they stay. Makes pins easy to grab also. Just be careful not to get other metal objects near it. I accidentally got my fabric shears too close and was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to pull them away, the magnolia pretty strong.

Ill buy these over and over again!! Have always used this brand Ive bought others in the past but the magnet isnt as strong as this one. ** Pic is in comparison to other brand and how many pins it can hold. This one is on the left and the other brand on the right! (I cant put anymore pins on the other brand cuz theyll fall off). Pros: - convenient - strong magnet - holds many pins - comes in cute colors -well made Cons: - DONT DROP IT!!! Ive dropped mine before on a hard surface. The magnet will break inside and it will no longer be useful!!!

I liked the first one and the pins enough that I bought a second, so I could take one to my cutting area and still have one by the sewing machines.
