    Jan, what a wonderful project. Even though I'm a beginner and haven't had much opportunity to use different kinds of needles, I can see this project coming in handy when I do. Even though I knew I wouldn't be making one of these, I watched the entire video because the shape and the corner creases intrigued me. I learned MUCH. Thank you!

    I bought your PDF for this. Gathered all my tools, fabric etc together and made this pin cushion. I am so pleased with how it turned out. Just as well as I usually don't make things to give away straight off and I made it as part of a present for my sewing guild Christmas break-up party that I am attending on the t6th Dec. After Christmas I will make one for my daughter, good friend and myself but I have a feeling that won't be the end of this. I really like it and can't wait to start using mine, I really need it. Spare needles everywhere!!!! Thank you Jan for this great pin cushion.

    Your boxed corners are a good addition to this project. About 2 months ago I made a patchwork pillow and boxed it out with an added strip of cloth all around the top and bottom; your method is a quicker way to get the same effect. Thank you!

    No more throwing away needles that I have used once but cannot remember what they were for . You are so clever can you think of a way to keep track of how often we used a needle before it goes in used container. Note: I keep my old needles to perforate paper for projects like using a quarter inch graph paper to teach my granddaughter how to sew a quarter inch seam. Old needle works great.

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  2 роки тому

      Great idea for using the old needles. As far as tracking how often to change the needles. For sure when you start having a poor stitch you should get a new one, but it's always good to change them periodically.

    Thank you for the detailed instructions! I don’t’t have ground walnut and wouldn’t have any use for it afterwards so perhaps I will use stuffing. But could one use rice or something else from the pantry?

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  2 роки тому

      Hello and thanks for reaching out. Some use washed sand also. This is very inexpensive to buy at the hardware stores. You may be able to use rice, flax to fill the bottom of the pincushion. But you wouldn't want to fill the whole thing, as that would not be good for the needles. You could also fill it with little pieces of felt scraps cut up in little pieces. I know some who do that. I hope that was helpful.

    A jeweler's loupe is the only way to read some of those needles. Schmetz has color coding. Organ needles....their system is inscrutable.
