Merchant and Mills Pin Magnet: A Workroom Tool for Retrieving Dropped Sewing Pins
Keep your sewing workspace clear of stray hardware with the Merchant & Mills Pin Magnet. When you are focusing on layout geometry, running fabric through your machine, or cutting complex patterns, pins frequently drop from the workspace onto the floor. This small, round haberdashery tool allows you to gather them up quickly and keep your immediate cutting area tidy.
Disc Shape with Merchant & Mills Branding
Unlike standard horseshoe magnets, this notion features a flat, circular disc design that measures approximately the size of a 2p piece and sits comfortably on any sewing table or layout counter. The disc is styled with the signature Merchant & Mills logo displayed across both flat, circular surfaces.
Strong Magnetic Pull for Sweeping Studio Floors
This tool provides a strong magnetic attraction that allows you to clear wide areas of loose, magnetic metal components with a single motion. Passing the magnet over your carpet or cutting table pulls up escaped dressmaking needles, glass-headed pins, and entomology pins, gathering them safely in one location. It is best used for:
- Retrieving Lost Floor Pins: Quickly gathers dropped metal hardware hidden in deep carpets or cracks in studio flooring.
- Sweeping Layout Worktables: Clears stray basting needles from large workstations after finishing a project.
- Temporary Sewing Station Storage: Provides a localised magnetic point to rest a handful of loose pins while pinning a seam.
