    I don't think I'll be getting one of those. That's what pincushions are for.

    And I would rather spend that money on something useful like fabric or a must have.

    I saw this too, but I wouldn't buy one, I really like the feel of my pincushion and I would miss it! And it takes up to much room for me...mind you it is only my opinion.

    Now if it would just pick up the pins off the floor, it might be useful. LOL
    I like my pin cushions.

    Nope, not practical and not for me. It is too large and what do you do with the pins once you remove them while stitching? I have pin cushions at my cutting table, at my sewing machine, at my ironing station and usually somewhere else in the room. Certainly not going to have four of these sitting around. Also, I use the flat head pins and it didn't appear that this machine would accomodate those. Oh, well, doesn't matter because this is a gadget I wouldn't purchase and I have tons of gadgets that I've purchased and still not used. Not even tempted by this one.

    Don't believe that June Tailor Co. has a hit with this. For those who might possibly be interested (can't imagine why), they should hold off because they will be on deep discount soon.

    I agree with that! No need for a gadget to hand me a pin!

    good point. I too have flat head pins and also different sizes for different projects.... very small ones for my doll clothes.

    Besides, it reminds me of a cement mixer. Not for me either.

    Good idea in theory. But where do you put the pins that you just pulled out of your project? I prefer the magnetic type pin dishes
    that I've been using for years. The Pintastic is too big and takes up more room than I have, certainly won't fit in a drawer. I think I'll pass on this.
