Scrub Buds
Sew a Scrub Bud into the middle of your pincushions...the metal sharpens your pins every time you push them in!
A Hidden Sharpener
During the assembly of your pincushion, bury one of these Scrub Buds in the middle of your padding and then continue as usual. Every time you push a pin or a needle into the cushion, it will be automatically sharpened for its next use! This is a nifty little trick I learned that is easy to do and gives much added benefit to your pincushion project!
