Do you ship outside the United States?

Boston Upholstery Design ships to United States addresses only at present.

How fast are refunds?

Boston Upholstery Design issues the refund within 5-7 business days of the return arriving, and your bank usually adds a day or two on top.

Can I cancel an order?

Yes, provided Boston Upholstery Design has not picked the order yet, which in practice means within about twelve hours on a business day; after that it becomes a return.

Boston Upholstery Design · Dedham, Massachusetts

Pin cushions, and the pins that go in them

Fifteen lines from an upholstery workroom's notions drawer: wooden Japanese cushions, tomato cushions, magnetic holders and wrist cushions. Nothing here costs more than $17.

Dritz Black Button Print Tomato Pin Cushion

Which cushion

Bench, wrist or magnet

A bench cushion stays put
A weighted wooden base does not travel across the table when you stab it one-handed. That is the whole argument for the Japanese style.
A wrist cushion follows the work
Fitting a chair means walking round it. A wrist cushion is the only one that comes with you.
Magnets are for dropped pins
A magnetic holder is not a cushion; it is a way of picking fifty pins off the floor in one pass. Most workrooms end up with both.

Five kinds of cushion

Wooden, tomato, magnetic, wrist, with pins
