    Default Best pin keeper I have found.

    I love this thing. It's a Zirkel magnetic pin keeper. No matter how you drop the pins the heads of the pins go to the outside. Of course I had to buy the pretty pins to go with it. I went to a local quilt show and the vendor had four of them left, an hour after she set up and she bought a dozen of them to the show. I got the last package of the pretty pins.

    I saw them at the last show I went to also. But I already have 3 different size magnetic bowls and couple of the magnetic pin keepers.

    I've seen this and tried it....don't own one, though. It's pretty neat. Love how strong the magnet is. I have a nice magnet pin holder....came from an auto store. Works great.

    Does any one know if he magnet is strong enough to affect the electronics in the new sewing machines! I was warned when I got the magnets to use for seam guides to be careful where I placed them
