Magnetic pin dishes

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
