I like these because when I am working at my ironing board with pins it will hold to your ironing board through the cover so then you won't accidentally know the pins onto the floor making a mess. The other thing I like is that they are metal and won't break like the plastic grabbits. I've broken a couple them when they've been dropped. Honestly, they are better and more affordable than the grabbits. I bought a set that had two round ones and a longer rectangular one, which is great for scissors. Love your Tool Time Tuesday!

Had one of those plastic magnetic ones from the fabric store; but it keep on falling apart. This one is GREAT. I put mine in a covered cookie tin so when I DO clean it can be covered. Have one for my cutting table and one for my machine This way I can just toss the pins while sewing in the general direction of the magnet and it STAYS. I also got a rectangular magnet tray from HF, about 4 x 8". This is great for tweezers, screwdrivers, bodkins, scissors, etc... Also remember if you have a sewing friend, this is a great gift! One more thing,. Love the telescoping magnetic tools, have two plain and one with a flashlight head. Great so I don't have to pick up pins from the floor, and my grandchildren LOVE to find pins for me, and then we walk around and see what will stick to it. Even outside, we can find lots of things Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762503714242940096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-5153571655966456082012-09-12T06:52:30.871-04:002012-09-12T06:52:30.871-04:00What a fantastic idea!

But FYI don't use them near a computerized sewing machine. I have heard that the magnets will mess up the computers somehow. I'm just not taking a chance and only use this near my non computerized machine. I didn't see an comments about this so thought I would give others a heads up. Not sure how true this is but don't want to take a chance.Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187456682218408410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-80055271587124922982011-04-26T09:11:45.173-04:002011-04-26T09:11:45.173-04:00Want to do it for free??

I peeled off the business card and found it had enough glue left to adhere to the tin. I love the hinged lid because I can close it up and take it with me without fear of spilling, but the slight magnetic power keeps me from spilling it when it is open.Sew toonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-12610669388424823232011-03-25T12:23:08.302-04:002011-03-25T12:23:08.302-04:00I do these also, cheap and useful and good looking...I do these also, cheap and useful and good looking.
