Horseshoe Magnet
This is a simple but indispensible tool for all sewing enthusiasts - patchworkers, quilters, embroiders, dressmakers, lacemakers. If you work near or over carpeting, you know how frustrating and painful it can be to step on a pin or needle. You also know what it's like when someone else steps on a pin which may have escaped your sewing project and embedded itself in carpeting.
This is a basic magnet that can be used for picking up pins or any small metal objects. Sweep over the floor near your work area before you pack away your materials at night and you'll be amazed to find pins you hadn't realized you dropped.
Meg's Verdict: This good old-fashioned magnet is also a really useful tool to have to hand when you drop the entire box of pins onto the floor. 'Allegedly.' (Ooops...don't ask me how I know this!)
