I remember reading the article about using "Aluminium Foil" to sharpen your scissors. Will this also work on safty pens? TIA ;D

Then it must work on pins as well. I read some where that you can stick pins and safty pins into steelwool pot scrubbers.I love handy hints. Thanks.

I know when I used cloth diapers I used to run the pins across a bar of soap to make them easeier to insert...

Years ago I got a pattern for a pincushion. The directions say to add a small ball of steel wool to help keep pins sharp.
