I have a 4 X 8 peg board hung horizontal on my wall and love it!

We hung up my new boards last night! They're awesome!!! I have a long skinny one over my cutting table with all my rulers, and a 3 X 4 ish one to the side of my table....holds patterns, cutters, scissors, etc....LOTS of space and now organized!! :)

You go girl!

No, I have had my Husqvarna 1+ for about 13 years and have had magnets on and all around it. I have never had a problem.

I dont understand this one at all. :oops:

The marbles raise the quilt off the floor so that you can pin through. My feeble attempt at humor was losings ones marbles. Perhaps that saying is just too old!

When I machine quilt, I take it off and just tape it back when I'm done.

This is a great idea. I have oodles of pictures of the grandkids on magnets. I can use these and still have them near. I still have the new ones all over my refrigerator and freezer.

I am going to use the old magnet pictures of my grandkids for this.

Some businesses give them away with their business cards, otherwise you can purchase the magnetic backs for business cards at office depot, and other office type stores.
