Sewing magnet for collecting pins and needles with a lid

Magnet for pins: an end to the search on the floor

Anyone who seamstresses knows the moment: a box of pins spills, or you finish cutting and are left with dozens of pins scattered on the table, on the fabric and on the floor. A magnet for collecting pins and needles solves it in one movement. You pass it over the area, and the pins jump into it. Without picking up one by one, and without revealing a pin on your bare feet two days later.

This model is built of two parts. At the base, a round green plastic housing, sits a dark magnet disc , surrounded by raised edges. Above it, a red plastic lid closes that protects the magnet and covers what is collected on it. When closed, it is round, flat and compact, easily fits into a sewing box, drawer or bag.

How it's Built

• Green base: Round plastic housing with raised edges around the magnet.
• Magnet Disc: Pulls pins, needles, and small metal accessories.
• Red Lid: Closes over the base, keeps the magnet and prevents masks from dissipating.
• Compact Design: Easy to use and convenient to carry.

Common Uses

• Collecting pins from the table after cutting and marking cuts.
• Scanning the floor around the sewing table at the end of a working day.
• Keeping pins and needles on hand while sewing or attaching a cut on your own.
• Quick collection when a box of pins spills.
• Temporary storage of hand needles, safety pins, and small metal accessories.
• Working next to a prototype doll, when pins are removed from a garment that has been fitted to it.

Who is it suitable for

The magnet is suitable for any sewing table: home seamstresses, repair studios, image artists who work with dozens of pins in each cut, and classrooms where several students work on the same table. It is especially useful in a home with children or pets, where a pin left on the floor is not just a nuisance. And because of its small size, it is also suitable for a sewing kit for travel and workshops outside the home.

Pins, needles and everything you need around the desk are in the sewing equipment category.

Pro Tips

• Scan slowly: Move the magnet close to the table, in slow, overlapping motions. In a fast motion, individual pins are left behind.
• On the floor: go through rows, like in a vacuum cleaner. On the carpet, you should go through it twice, because pins get caught between the fibers.
• Arrange in one direction: When you place pins on the magnet in the same direction, it's easier to pull out one at a time without pricking your fingers.
• Keep your distance from electronics: As a precaution, keep the magnet away from magnetic stripe cards, phones, and the screen and control panel of a computerized sewing machine. As for the machine, you should also check its manufacturer's instructions.
• Closure at the end of work: The lid keeps the pins in place and prevents them from getting caught in other objects in the box.

Common mistakes

• Leave the magnet open on the fabric: Pins that are attracted to it while working can pull pins out of the cut or move it.
• Expect him to collect non-magnetic metal pins: Brass and some types of stainless steel pins are not attracted to a magnet. Regular steel pins are.
• Overload: When the magnet is covered with a thick layer of pins, the top layer clings weakly and falls off. Empty into the box occasionally.
• Drop it on a hard surface: plastic and magnet are not unbreakable. It is worth placing it, not throwing it into a box.

Magnet or pin pad

A pin pad and a magnet do different jobs, and most professional seamstresses hold both. Pins are inserted into the pillow one by one, and they stay in place until they are needed. The magnet collects: it pulls pins from the table, fabric, and floor without looking for each one, and holds them close at hand. When you remove dozens of pins from a fit or garment on a modeling doll, a magnet saves most of the time.
