Reddit reviews The Zirkel Magnetic Pin Cushion, Black

I absolutely adore my Zirkel pin holder. (Zirkel Magnetic Organizer ZMOR Pin Cushion https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013D6T4YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-T56BbT820X80). It’s a STRONG magnet, and it fans out the pins for easier picking up than my plain circular one from Joann’s. I also enjoy my magnetic wrist band which is from the hardware store and is great for holding pins as well! Those are more on the scale of $5-10.

I know I am getting Gingher 4” thread snips from Santa this year, which are around $12 with coupon/sale. They’re a lot lighter than my embroidery scissors and they have the cap so I am not always stabbing myself when I wear it around my neck.

I’ve been contemplating the gypsy quilter cutting thing, but it gets kinda mixed reviews on Amazon. Other small random quilty notions you could buy: That Purple thang, Clover Hera Marker, a Seam Fix Seam ripper (the ones with the rubber bit on top to gather up the bits after), or Clover binding clips


Adding in a handmade gift could be fun! I’m planning to make my MIL one of these scissor holders. I have one another quilter made me, sans batting and they didn’t trim the bottom so it’s pointed. I think the pattern linked would be much more practical, but idk if the batting is necessary. If you got several small skinny notions, you could even put them IN the scissor case. :D
