    My Mum used to use a crepe bandage for hers.

    Here's the link to the pincushion I was looking for yesterday. I put stiff plastic in the back of it so the pins don't scratch my machine.

    The one I made is filled with batting and I used a piece of thick template plastic that fits against the machine, so no scratches.
    Let's see a picture.

    I do that with my machines that have the area for it. I put batting on the fabric center, fold it in thirds and stitch down the middle and put it on my machine as a pin cushion.

    Never saw one like that before. Good idea as long as it doesn't damage the machine. I use a wrist pin cushion and put lastic in it so it fits better than with the plastic fasteners they sell them with.
