    that's great...my magnetic pin catcher draws most onto their heads and I am always getting poked.

    I bought it from a Bernina dealer. She had one next to each Bernina model set up for demos.

    The pins are sharp, much more then I thought they would be since they are pretty. I think my young grand will be fascinated by this while in my sewing room with me.

    All she had was red. I think red is Bernina trademark color so that's why she had all red.

    It is heavy, won't fall off the table without a fight.

    I have other magnetic pin cushions besides my machine and no problem. i never touch the machine with them. now this one is something i may have to buy. i have trouble picking up pins and having the heads where i can get them is perfect!!
    just got a red one from Sew It Up.

    Those are such pretty pins. It would be a waste of money for me to buy one since I too have three of the magnetic bowls.

    I've given up on magnetic pin holders! I bought one and kept it on my sewing table next to my machine with my little scissors right there. Well, my scissors became magnetic and ever time I picked them up a whole bunch of pins stuck to it. Gave the magnetic bowl and all the pins to a friend who wanted them. Got new pins and have them in a plastic box. No more magnetic anything for me!!

    Yep that happened to me before. I demagnetized them. I put the scissors in my Sonic toothbrush charger base while plugged in, took them out and no more magnetic scissors. This will work for small tools.
