That's great. I like that idea and will close shop here and look for a small flatter side bowl.
THANKS!

I bought magnets today. I think a plate will be quicker and easier to use than a pincushion.

I am tickled that so many Quilting Board members have been inspired by my Magnetic Pincushion Tutorial. They were great fun to make, and even more fun to give away to my quilting pals.
Make lots......your quilting friends will LOVE you for it.
My Best To You,

Just be careful not to get anything magnetic to close to your computerized sewing machine or you can end up with a real mess on your hands! I love my maqgnetic pin cushion but I'm always careful that it keeps it's distance from my Bernina - they just don't get along! LOL!!
