Product Information

Full details

The Prym Oval Magnetic Pin Cushion is designed for sewers and crafters who need a convenient way to keep pins, needles, or small metal office supplies organized and within easy reach. Its primary benefit is the magnetic hold, which securely stores items without needing to be inserted into a cushion, saving time and preventing accidental pricks. A potential caveat is its reliance on magnets, meaning it's not suitable for non-ferrous items.

Troubleshooting

Items are not sticking to the pincushion.

Ensure the items are made of a ferrous metal. Check that the magnetic surface of the pincushion is clean and free from debris. Ensure the pincushion is placed on a flat, stable surface.

The pincushion feels weak.

Inspect the pincushion for any visible damage. Ensure there are no other strong magnetic sources nearby that could interfere. For sustained use, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.

Plastic housing is damaged.

If the plastic housing is cracked or broken, discontinue use to prevent any potential hazards. Contact the retailer or manufacturer for replacement options.
