FAQs

What kind of pins does it work with?

It works with standard sewing pins. The magnetic strength is designed for typical sewing pins and needles.

How strong is the magnet?

The magnet is strong enough to hold a significant number of pins securely, preventing them from scattering during sewing.

Can I attach it to fabric?

No, the suction cup is designed for smooth, hard surfaces like metal, plastic, or laminate. It will not adhere effectively to fabric.

What are the dimensions of the pin cushion?

The pin cushion measures approximately 45x45x25mm.

How do I clean the cat-shaped part?

Wipe the brushed stainless steel surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Will it rust?

The surface is made of brushed stainless steel, which is resistant to rust under normal use and care conditions.

Troubleshooting

Pin cushion not staying attached

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Wipe the suction cup with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before reattaching. Try a different smooth surface.

Magnet strength seems weak

Ensure there are no obstructions between the magnet and the pins. Clean any dust or debris from the stainless steel surface.

Surface scratch

Use only a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials or chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps pins organized and readily available.
  • Strong magnetic grip prevents pins from falling.
  • Attaches securely to sewing machine surfaces.
  • Durable stainless steel construction.
  • Aesthetically pleasing design.

Cons

  • May attract other small metal items unintentionally.
  • Suction cup effectiveness depends on surface smoothness.
  • Limited capacity compared to traditional pin cushions.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain suction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use, simply place the magnetic pin cushion on a clean, flat, and smooth surface. The transparent silicone suction cup will create a secure hold. Ensure the surface is free of dust and debris for optimal adhesion.

Compatibility: This pin cushion is designed to attach to most smooth, non-porous surfaces commonly found on sewing machines, cutting tables, or other craft stations. It is compatible with standard sewing pins.

Care: To clean, gently wipe the stainless steel surface with a soft, dry cloth. For the suction cup, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure it is completely dry before reattaching to avoid slippage. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials.
