- I was getting tired of pins rolling around on the throat area of the sewing machine - so I made a pincushion for it.
It is sewn using scraps and ticker tape - video: • Dig into that scrap bi...
and is tied to your sewing machine, so you can move it around and put it where you'd like.

I made something like this and added a piece of cardboard inside under the stuffing which stops the pins going all the way through and scratching the machine.
great idea! I should have done that and did consider, but maybe just forgot while I was finishing it!
I was so happy to see you using the ladder stitch to close the opening. It’s such a useful stitch and I’m always surprised to see so many Quilters and sew uses using a running stitch instead of learning this technique. So Kudos for showing this stitch. Also thanks for this pin cushion video.
you are so welcome! yes - that ladder stitch does come in handy. I like how it goes away and you don't even really know where the opening was! I don't like using the running stitch as it really shows off horribly for something like this. Plus, it's like 2" and doesn't take long to sew it closed by hand.
Nice tutorial! I have a number of vintage machines and several of them had a similar pin cushion attached when they were acquired. Underneath the pincushions was the inevitable “pin rash”. After many years of catching pins the surface underneath the pincushion can become quite scratched. Something to be mindful of. It is still the perfect spot to catch pins while sewing!
Wonder if a piece of leather would protect it?
@@MarciaBaker1205 I think leather would be a great way to protect a machine. I think I’ll try that idea! Thanks 😊
awe yes!! leather would be a great addition to keep it from accidental scratches. thanks for the suggestion!
I can vouch for that. I have a 1941 singer that has pin rash right down to the bare casting. I would not do this to my Juki. ( or any machine for that matter)
In my days of working in a sewing plant, IF we were allowed to use straight pins, a 1" wide strip of elastic pinned around always worked. It didn't interfere with the threads coming through or move around on the neck. Also handy for a pencil holder or whatever you used to make a quick mark.
oooo - that's a great idea! I do like the idea of the pin not going directly into it so it reduces the ability of it scratching the machine. Plus begin able to tuck things into it - that's a good one!
Thanks for doing this I would never have thought of that! 😂
It's only when the pins begin rolling that we need to find a solution. lol
Great idea and yes I also keep all those package ribbons and am happy to find at least one use for some of them, thanks
hah! those ribbons! They are always around and not used as much as they should.
Nice to see this redo. This was on my grandmother's treadle I recently got. I'd modify for my modern machines. Also, I'd stuff with those small, small, small scraps I accumulate.
ooooo I like the idea of using the tiny scraps and bits for stuffing the pin cushion. Great idea -thank you for sharing!
Great idea. Thanks.
you are welcome!
I actually forgot that I'd meant to make one of those pincushions. Thanks for the reminder 👍🏻
I did too- until I had enough of the rolling pins.
Magnetic container used for mechanical nuts and bolts!
I have one and don't have it near the machine- I need to get it out though. I know someone who uses the magnetic dish to put her sewing machine feet in! great idea.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MAKING ONE
you bet!
My grandmother used a scrap around the arm of machine. A lot of older people did this. I have a 1924 singer that has a worn place where the pins and needles were kept
A scrap tied would totally work. Selvedge would also!
Hi. My grandma’s black head singer had such a pin cushion. Mom adapted it to her later model machines. I thought about it and nixed the idea because I thought the pincushion wouldv be too shallow letting the needles hit the machine. So here are some suggestions. Use a felting needle to stiffen the stuffing; use a barrier like the plastic from some food product in botton side ; make a thread catcher-pin cushion combination on sewing table. Whatever method you choose your muscle memory will make it work. Just got the juki 2010, love it! Thanks
love this machine!! it's my all time favorite.
thanks for the suggestions! yes - pins going through could be an issue. You could put them in sideways to avoid the issue. I'm going to use it for a big and see if I need to make any adjustments.
This is good idea thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome!
I love this idea. For me I’m going to put a protective layer inside to the bottom so the pins don’t go through and scratch my machine. I have a tendency to push the pins too hard.
I was thinking the same thing and it has been mentioned a few times in the comments - it could easily be added before stuffing for anyone wanting to make one. thanks for the suggestion!
Great use of leftovers
Isn't it?! Quite easy as well and quick. I like quick projects.
I love the idea of a sewing machine pin cushion. What about stuffing it with steel wool? Thank you for sharing. God bless.
that could totally work as well. Since the area shouldn't be getting wet, it would be just fine.
Looks like velcro would work also and it could be moved without cutting the ribbon.. great idea.
Velcro would totally work, but to be honest - I'm kind of a lazy sewer and that would have taken longer! I don't tie the knot tight enough to not get undone, but if the ribbon was too long and getting in the way, I would trim those.
As a collector and restorer of antique and vintage machines, I've removed these types pin cushion bandages off many sewing machines. In every case this wrap causes pin rash (scratching) on the machine housing and diminishes the machine's value.
I could see that happening - there isn't anything on the backside of the pincushion to keep the pin from going all the way through. I don't keep a lot of pins here so not too worried about it, but yes - good thought. thanks for sharing!
does it get in the way when filling the bobbin?
I can move it pretty freely - so if it does, it can rotate to a new spot. I think the only thing would be if it caught on any pins. Something to be mindful of- thanks for the mention!
Cute idea, thanks.
You are so welcome!
Great idea!
I think so too! It is working so well for me too. yay!
I keep ALL RIBBON!!😊😅😅I must be part crow. But it's great for crafting❤
I agree!!! I have all the ribbon too. I need to come up with more projects for them so I can whittle down the collection.
Btw.. it says David but I'm a wife...Tami
No way if you like your machine and especially if it is new. You want stick pins in and scratch your machine. Women figured this out 75 years ago. And stopped doing it
I get it, some like this option and others don't. I don't have more than 10 pins in this, and don't plan on having more than that. They go back to the main pin cushion where they get used, but this is just for keeping them when I pull them off of whatever I pinned. So I'm ok with it.
Others have mentioned putting a piece of cardboard on the inside just before stuffing so it will stop the pins from going all the way through. I think I would do that next time I make one.
