Susan (rsehorse) shared a pincushion I bought some golf tees for year ago to make one and this is my version I used one of my little upholstery squares of fabric for petals and felt for center. I just did a ufo little one but this was on my due list. I say always got room for a pincushion how many do you got?
here is link to Susans pretty pincushion. http://www.cuteembroidery.com/932...around year ago I believe.

The pin cushion is in hole for the stylus pen for screen. I use my finger nail much easier. The wooden spindle you see is one of thread holders I made. I got piece plywood cut shape with my jigsaw and dowel rods I drilled holes big enough for them to go in glued them in holes the small drill hole to put wire I bent with my pliers. I made one for other machine with scrap wood and piece of cut 2x2 drilled hole to put piece of coat hanger I bent in. Bought one of those plastic stands and I like my home mades better.

I put the stylius pen in tool box I use my finger as more gentle to my screen at least I hope so. So thought of that idea when Susan showed hers. There is always pin need close even when going taking with me somewhere and I am game for even traveling ideas.

I was told not to use your finger...skin oil. BUT how about your finger nail?? Dealer said you didn't want to get too many smudges on the screen. Just a thought.

That is what I use my finger nail if I used finger it would be harder hit and I baby my machine. I wipe it off daily with dry cloth and he don't like any lint in bobbin area so I go and clean that about ever 3 projects before he yells at me. Hope I get many years out of this one.
