I absolutely love these magnetic bowls.
I keep straight pins in one and safety pins in another, etc. When pins fall I just sweep the floor with a bowl. Voila! All picked up. They are on sale now for $3.00. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-...tm_source=1010

I tried the bowls but the con for me is all the pins get in a jumble and hard to pull apart. I like the magnetic pin holders that automatically puts the pins going in one direction even when sweeping them up off the floor.

GiGi was so right to warn you about the digital machines. So sorry. Didn't think of you ladies with machines with tails. I am a treadler. No electronics here - alright - I do have a 401A (great machine) but only use her when I am simply not up to treadling - which is not often. Another plus is when the bowl tips over (I am so clumsy) all the pins stay together. I also use it to magnetize the tip of my scissors.
