Why I use magnetic pin dishes
I like the multi-purpose functionality of magnetic pin dishes, including:
- The magnet holds the pins securely in place
- When I am sewing, it is quicker to place pins into a magnetic pin dish than a pin cushion
- Storage beside my sewing machine for bobbins, Quick Unpick (seam ripper) and thread snips
My preferred features
I prefer my magnetic pin dishes to have the following features:
- A strong magnet
- A large enough surface to suit my needs
- You can also use magnetic parts dishes, which are available at auto parts and hardware stores
