I also saw them. They are HUGE, take up too much room. Plus I like to use the pins that the head looks like a yellow flower. My friend says that for tailoring they would be great, don't know, I don't work with clothing. :)

This is about the biggest waste of good money. I agree with all of the comments of it's big, it's noisey, and what are you supposed to do with the pins you remove as your sewing. I'm surprised this is a June Tailor item; but then again June Tailor is probably a company run by someone who doesn't even sew.

And what the heck do you do with the pins as you sew and remove them? Lay them on that oh-so-convenient paper funnel next to your already crowded workspace until you've got a pile of them and then load them back into the barrel?
Honestly, I am a gadget lover, sewing and in the kitchen. But I just don't see any positives for this thing.

I have a friend who vends June Taylor products. I asked her about this pin dispenser and she said they are selling great. It's a big seller for dressmakers, designers, crafters, and other hobbiest. She hasn't been to quilt show to vend them yet, the market is too good at other venues for her right now. She said drop the pins you use in a jar and when full add them back in the dispenser. She is sending me one full of Clover different size glass head pins!

Not sure I will get one, but something to think about.
