Troubleshooting
Pins not staying on the magnetic surface
Ensure the magnetic surface is clean and free from lint or fabric scraps. Check that the pins are made of a ferrous metal that will attract to the magnet. If pins are very heavy, try fewer pins at a time.
Slapband feels too tight or too loose
The slapband is designed to conform to the wrist. If it feels too tight, ensure it is not wrapped over clothing. If it feels too loose, try wearing it slightly higher on the forearm.
Color received is not desired
Unfortunately, the color of the pincushion is not specifiable and will vary with each order. This is an inherent characteristic of this product.
